“ I really hate you sometimes, Hunter, I really do.”

“Well, I hate you, too,” I said, softly. “I hate the way you laugh at every joke in a TV show, even if it isn’t funny, because I know you just get caught up in the moment. And I hate how you get caught up in the moment, too, because it feels like you go somewhere without me, and I wish I was your shadow so I could never be apart from you.”

Stahppppp

“I’m not yours anymore.”
“Fine. If you’re not mine, then know that I’m yours. The minute I saw you, you had me hooked, and I never wanted you to let go. The entire time we were together all I could think was you were better than any dream, any piece of fiction I could ever write.”

😭😭😭😭😭

Aiden’s dirty talk …. Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

“Such a good girl, Rosie, even now. Taking me like this,” he bit out. “Always a good girl for me, isn’t that right?”

Aidennnnnn 🫦🫦🫦

“Because I like you, Aiden. Not in the oh, I saw this and thought of you way. But in the oh you told me this and now I can’t stop thinking about it because you think about it way. And in the I want to end this year with you and start the new one with you too way”
🥹😭😭😭😭

“The truth is, I really liked Rosie, from the moment I saw her. And I’m … defensive I guess. I wanted to talk to her, and I didn’t know how because she … I mean, she’s Rosie. Larger than life and so kind and confident. I was too scared to go right up and talk to her.”

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Not Rosie telling her parents that Aiden and her are together

“I wanted to walk to him and grab his hand. To feel his skin against mine and hopefully, one day, his heartbeat against mine. I wanted to run my fingers through his hair and tell him I was his … if only he could be mine.”

He kept the reservation in hopes he was seeing her Christmas Eve ! 🥹🥹🥹🥹
