I HOPE AYA,JING AND ELIAS AREN'T BAD GUYS.

“When I was really small, she said, I didn’t know you were my sister.”
I didn’t think that was funny at all.
“I was too little to understand, she said quietly. I hadn’t made sense of everything that happened to us.”
“Who did you think I was?
“I thought you were my mother.”

OK ENOUGH READING FOR TODAY.

“How many times did I wipe Clara’s mouth? How many times did I clean the vomit from the soft folds of her neck? How many nights did I spend curled around her small body, pressing my hands so hard to her aching stomach that my own arms locked in place? How long did I lie awake like a corpse, afraid to so much as rustle the sheets in case I missed the sound of her breathing?”

She groans, banging her head against the door. “This is so embarrassing.”

NAZEERA IS SO ME WHEN IT COMES TO RELATIONSHIPS.

CANT BELIEVE WARNER AND JAMES JUST GAVE NAZEERA SOME ADVICE ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. LOL.

“Yeah, I know,” she says, considering me. “But you’ve never even been in a serious relationship.”
“I’ve never been in a serious relationship because I’m looking for something really fucking specific,” I say to her. “I don’t need practice. I already know what I want, and I’ve never been willing to settle. You can blame this jackass.” I nod at Warner. “Thank you for ruining my life.”

“Isn’t it—I mean, isn’t it implied? If I’m reaching out, trying to see him and talk to him—isn’t it obvious that I’m sorry?”

I get nazeera I would do the same.

“Warner is so angry right now he’s practically vibrating. He cares about Kenji way more than he will ever admit out loud.
Man, I’m going to hold this over his head forever.”

“Nazeera,” Warner says quietly. “If you tell me right now that you said no to his proposal because you don’t want to be with him, I will never bring this up again. But if you said no because you’re a coward, terrified of your own feelings, more willing to destroy two lives than to sort out your fears, we’re going to have a problem.”

He does not play with his bestie I tell you.

“Look, whatever, I wanted a future, okay? I wanted all the hard, messy, complicated shit that comes next. She didn’t.” His voice gets tighter. “And I think I deserve to be with someone who wants what I want. I think I deserve to be with someone who actually loves me and isn’t going to bail the minute things get hard—”

NOOO :(
