Tropi Girl’s Reviews > It's a Love Story > Status Update

“I’d like to be the person who could take all of your sad things and make them happy. Like I’d hunt down each one and turn it over.”
“I don’t think anyone is that person for anyone,” I say. “I don’t think so either. But I’d like to be that person for you.”

“Love happens over breakfast.” Cormack smiles at Reenie. “If you want to know the secret to a happy marriage, that’s it.”

Soooo CUTE!

“Love isn’t a helicopter ride to Catalina; it’s everyday care and treating the other person like they’re your house keys. I want this movie to say the thing I can’t say. Mom, you’re chasing your own lie.”

“A kiss is like that. I mean, if it takes. Sometimes a kiss doesn’t go anywhere. But sometimes it starts and makes decisions all on its own.” He’s looking at my mouth as he says it, and I wonder if he’s imagining the same kiss I am.”

His arms are tight and protective around my back; his eyes are straight on mine. He would kiss me with intention, like it would matter.

“So what happens?” Reenie asks. “To bring them together at the end.”
“He comes back for her,” I say.
“He realizes she’s the one who sees him as he really is,” says Dan.
Cormack pushes away from the table. “Danny, are you having a heart attack now? Jesus Christ, Reenie.”
Dan removes his hand from his heart and puts it in his lap. “It’s a beautiful story,” he says.”

🤭❤️

“Through all of it, I clock the nearness of Dan. When I laugh, he leans in, not away. When he leans back in his chair, he places a hand on the back of mine. I try on the feeling, just for a second, of what it would be like to belong to him.”
