“You want me, you’re just too loyal and proud to admit that not having me is killing you.” “Like I said. Delusional.” Avoidance has been his forte far longer than should be allowed, and I’m done letting him off that easily. “You sure about that?”

I swear these two are driving me crazy! I need them together ASAP!!! 😭😭😭

“Out of all the lies I’ve told through this entire mess, telling you I didn’t love you was the biggest one of all. There’s nothing and no one I want more than you. I love you, baby. And I’m so fucking sorry for making you think otherwise.”

Nix really put me and Hold through it! 😅 But oh, my fucking god! FINALLY!!! 🥹😭

This is about the toxic codependency we’ve fallen into over the years.” "You said it yourself; you’re my comfort zone. My security blanket. And if this has taught me anything, it’s that you can’t be anymore.”

I’m really glad that they both see that Holden isn’t the problem, but that it’s their toxic friendship that needs to be addressed. 🥹🥹🥹

“I don’t love you.” he says. Liar. “Eyes and mouth, Nix. Eyes and fucking mouth.” “Not this time.” “Yes, this time. This time and every single fucking time, baby. Because I see your fear—hear it in your words—and I know it’s what’s controlling you. What’s making you run away right now when we both know you love me too.”

PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP, IT HURTS!!! 😭😭😭

“Clearly, this has nothing to do with Holden. He’s just the catalyst. This is about you and me and all the shit that’s so clearly broken between us.” Finally! I’ve been waiting for the entirety of this book for them both to come to this realization! 🥹🥹🥹

“When are you gonna stop acting like I constantly need you as some sort of guardian and savior? I told you months ago, we’re not kids anymore. I can fight my own battles; I can win my own wars.” “If that’s so true, why am I even here?”

When you stop acting like you constantly do need him! Let’s not pretend that you’re not dependant on Nix!

“You’re not sorry about what happened with Holden, you’re just sorry you got caught stealing him in the first place.” It’s not stealing if he’s meant to be mine.

Ugh! He’s sorry he wasn’t honest with you and lied, but he’s not sorry it happened. There’s a difference, dipshit! And, it’s not stealing if he had him first! 🙄

Nothing about being with Holden is a mistake…apart from how it’s destroying a decade-old friendship right before my eyes. Then again, maybe it wouldn’t be if I’d just been honest from the beginning.

Holden isn’t the reason you’re losing a decade-old friendship. That’s on you! You made the choice to lie to your best friend and made him look like a fool. 🤦🏽‍♀️

“This is getting good,” Cam says as he reaches back into the bowl of popcorn for another handful. “I know,” Oakley muses, and I don’t miss the smirk on his lips as he pops a kernel in his mouth. “Good thing Theo got snacks.”

These guys are fucking hilarious! I’ll admit that Holden’s love life dilemma is entertaining, but to get snacks and popcorn while listening? 🤣🤣🤣

"You’ve lived through this whole friendship putting Kason first, and that’s not normal. Sure, doing what you can for him to be happy isn’t necessarily a flaw, but it is when it’s completely at odds with what you want for yourself.”

I’ve been screaming about this shit the entire book! Nix, you’re in a toxic relationship with your BFF and you don’t even see it! 😭🥺

My eyes fall closed as a secret spills from my lips. A secret I’ve been trying to hang onto like it’s my last thread of sanity.“I don’t want to want you.” “I know.” Eyes still closed, I shake my head. “It’s not fair to Kason.” “I know. But it’s not fair to you either.”

Nix, I'm begging you! Just give into him already!!! 😭😭😭
