Larissa just figured out who cleaned off her car.

“Being alone is hard, but so is hating your life because you’re not.”

“So, when were you going to tell me?”
“Tell you what?”
“That you’re moving in with Mike,” she said.

Lexi & Larissa
She didn’t tell anyone that she’s moving in with Mike.
Why not?
Wrong decision?

I wanted to bring her more. I wanted to get her breakfast and a latte. Actually, I wanted to take her out to eat. Sit somewhere in a booth across from her, stay too long. One of the books we liked came out in theaters last week and I wanted to take her to the movie too.
But there was a fine line between what I could do for her and what I should do for her.
And this is where it was drawn.

Cormac tells Scarlett about his addiction.

I love the dog!

Trace learns about Cormac’s vigilante actions.

Cormac meets Scarlett when his taxi hits her while she’s crossing the street

I’m excited to read Cormac’s story!

Alena!

All the news about Sasha
Wow!

Raising a round of vodka shots, we toast our newest queen.
Albeit he’s a queen in a fine black designer suit, with the height and muscles to fill it, and a Texas drawl that’s even finer.

Initiating a new queen to the group 👑

Alena - You think my dad’s hot?
Vale - Dead Icelandic nuns think your dad is hot.

“I love you, Alena Allen.”

Finally able to tell her how he feels

This is the feeling. On all the pages. In all the movies. In fables and folklore. This is love. It’s the most beautiful, crushing pressure in my chest that finds my lips kissing her hair.

“And it’s also why we’re having a sleepover with popcorn and a romcom. You can’t sleep, so neither will I.”
She pulls away, finally grinning. “A sleepover?”
“Yes, a sleepover. And don’t try anything frisky, young lady. I’m a delicate virgin who won’t put out until you make me an honest man.”

Loch & Alena after her rescue

You are no longer a man, Axl Thorne. His voice is in my head now, and it doesn’t creep me out as much as it should. It feels like he is meant to be there.
So what am I?
A vampire.

…he is infuriatingly uncommunicative, and I have three million more questions I need answers to.

Axl about Alexandros

“I have no idea how you fit that inside me,” Lynette whispers, fluttering her eyelashes like she has reason to be coy after that has been inside her more times than she can probably count.

Loved it!

Not every romance felt as explosive and all-consuming as the one I had with Finn did. In fact, I’d bet that most stable relationships felt the opposite: warm instead of hot, comfortable instead of unpredictable, safe instead of adventurous.

Ember tries to convince herself to move on

I feel like I’m missing something, like I’ve got the whole puzzle put together but there are two pieces I can’t find to finish it.

Two missing pieces
Finn & Ember

Ember sees Finn’s tattoo

“How about Firefly?”
I turn, curious, one hand still gripping the strap of my bag. “Firefly?”
“It suits you better,” he says, that magnetic smile softening. “You light up the room. Can’t help but follow the glow.”

Finn to Ember
First meeting
Gives her a nickname

“I’ve kissed a few boys, cuddled after a crew night out, maybe, but… never anything serious.” I shrugged. “I think my heart still belongs to a chef on a boat in Greece.”

Ember to Finn

Staring at this man in the galley now, I wondered if it had been his fears ruling him that night, too. I wondered if love, or lack thereof, wasn’t to blame.
Love never stood a chance against bad timing and two scared kids trying to figure out who they were.
