“A pretty girl like you should know the score by now.”

“All of a sudden, she could pick out the gray rim of his cornea. Had he gotten closer? He was tall, but not that much taller than her. He didn’t usually feel this imposing.”

STAY AWAY TOM STAY AWAY ✋ 🥷🏽

“It wasn’t until a few minutes later, when she was sitting on her bed staring at the Boston skyline and chewing on her lunch, that Olive realized that the protein bar Adam had given her was covered in chocolate.”

not Adam buying a chocolate protein bar for olive and giving it to her under the pretence that it was HIS STOP IT ADAM ✋ STOP IT CUTIE

“This might be inappropriate, but . . .” His jaw shifted, and he closed his eyes for a second. As if to collect his thoughts. “Olive. You are really . . . You are extraordinary, and I cannot imagine that if you told Jeremy how you feel he wouldn’t . . .”

😩😩🤚bUT SHE LIKES YOU if only she’d fricken SAY SO

“It wasn’t about you.”
The lie rolled off her tongue like a mudslide: unpremeditated, quick, and bound to leave a huge mess behind.”

I take back what I just said bcz WHY OLIVE WHY

“She wasn’t even surprised to find Adam. Standing behind her. Close enough that unless both his eardrums had ruptured since the last time they’d talked, he m”

This is absolutely FANTASTIC. I love not needing to deal with the dreadful and mopey moments of characters crushing on someone and not telling them

“HYPOTHESIS: When compared with multiple types and models of furniture, Adam Carlsen’s lap will be rated in the top fifth percentile for comfort, coziness, and enjoyment.”

JSNSJD Plz I just KNOW this gonna be enjoyable as heck

“Where were you born?” Adam asked before she could leave.
Oh. They were doing this, then. He was probably just trying to be polite, and Olive sighed inwardly, thinking longingly of her lab bench.”

I’m dead bcz clearly Adam is interested or at least I would say curious and Olive literally does not care 😅

“HYPOTHESIS: Adam Carlsen and I have absolutely nothing in common, and having coffee with him will be twice as painful as a root canal. Without anesthesia.”

Can I hypothesize otherwise? Hehe

“I think that’s pretty standard protocol, before embarking on a fake-dating relationship.”
He tilted his head. “Standard protocol?”
“Yup.”
“How many times have you done this?”
“Zero. But I am familiar with the trope.”
“The . . . what?” He blinked at her, confused.
Olive ignored him.”

THE TROPE IM CRYINGGGG

“HYPOTHESIS: A private conversation with Adam Carlsen will become 150 percent more awkward after the word “sex” is uttered. By me.”

I already know this will be 100% fun and hilarious

“Maybe we can tell people that I broke up with you?”
“That’s very flattering,” Dr. Carlsen deadpanned. She couldn’t quite figure out if he was joking.
“Fine. We can say that you broke up with me.”
“Because that sounds credible,”

Oh Mr. Carlsen I like u very much

“It never occurred to Olive that Dr. Adam Carlsen—known ass—had called her by her name.”

Omg she’s never gonna notice he’s THE GUY especially not when ber eyes were barely working the first time they met

“Did you . . . Did you just kiss me?” He sounded puzzled, and maybe a little out of breath. His lips were full and plump and . . . God. Kissed. There was simply no way Olive could get away with denying what she had just done.
Still, it was worth a try.
“Nope.”
“Surprisingly, it seemed to work.
“Ah. Okay, then.”

“How long have you been here?”
“Here?” A pause. “Six years. Give or take.”

“I can barely remember what I said. You know why? Because you totally caught me off-guard and didn’t even give me a second to think about it.”

FINALLY HANNAH SAYING WHAT WE’RE ALL THINKING IN SCENES LIKE THIS

“You won’t let anything bad happen to me, will you, Garrett?”
A lump the size of Massachusetts lodges in my throat. I swallow hard and try to speak past it. “Never.”

STAHP MY HEART 😫✋😫

“Well, if you’re worried about being a crappy kisser, you can’t just take G’s word for it. You need a second opinion.” His brows lift in challenge. “Let me see what you’ve got.”
“Stop being a jackass,” Garrett mutters.
“No, he has a point,” I answer awkwardly, and my brain screams, What?”

She’s screaming I’m screaming we’re all screaming NAIFNQODJRI

“But uncle,’ said Laurent, ‘Guion isn’t who I brought.’
‘He brought me,’ said Guion’s wife Loyse, stepping forward.”

“Laurent of Vere is guilty of every charge brought against him,’ said Guion.”

Not me screaming BCZ I knew this man was a SNAKE

“The sentry bowed his head to the Regent, said, ‘You are the King of Vere and not of Akielos, but the attack was against you, and a king’s judgement is sacred in the Kingsmeet. Pass your sentence.”

“Kill him,’ said the Regent.”

Ok all is well not me cry screaming or anything

“By surprise? You are refreshingly artless,’ said the Regent. ‘Laurent was expecting me. He is here to give himself up for the child.”

BRO. NOOOOOOOOO

“You mean, the only difference between us is that I chose the wrong brother?’
As the stars began to drift across the sky, Laurent thought about Nicaise, standing in the courtyard with a handful of sapphires.
‘I don’t think you chose,’ said Laurent.”

Plz I’m not even angry he has his own plans that’s Laurent for you im just sad at all of this 😞

“Damen looked out at the weird beauty of the gnarled landscape. He heard himself say, ‘Damianos will end slavery when he becomes King.”

The moment I been waiting for 🥺

“There was a knock at the door.
‘Come in,’ said Laurent, turning his head towards the sound.
Damen said, ‘Laurent,’ shocked”

PLZ HE HAS NO SHAME NO CARES IN THE WORLD IM DEADDD

“Because he was false,’ said Damen, ‘and you are true. I have never known a truer man.’ He said, into the stillness, ‘I think if I gave you my heart, you would treat it tenderly.”
