" Good girl. Ben fatto. Brava,” Frankie croons and scratches her ear. Her voice is low and cadent, like when she says Zenzero. It’s ridiculously hot. Glancing up at me, she frowns, her eyes tightening with concern as she searches my face. “Everything okay?” she asks. “Yep. Everything’s okay.” It’s so not okay. “You, uh, speak some Italian?” “Oh. Pretty much fluent. My dad came over with my grandmother when he was five. So, I grew up speaking it with them. And I’m a bit of a polyglot. I love learning new languages.” Great. Just great. The woman who’s about to be a guest in my house and for whom I harbor unrequited, inappropriately love-like feelings, also speaks a sexy Romance language. "

" I know I’ve given you reason to doubt me, Oliver, but I promise that’s behind us. I’m here. I’m yours.” He brings my hand to his chest. “I promise it all—my body, my soul, my life, for you, everything for you, to care for you and love you, if you’ll let me. You’re the fucking sunrise of my heart, love. All I need is to wake up beside you, to hold your hand and keep you steady when you need me, to watch you with pride and admiration, to give you hell for not being more selfish on the field and too generous off of it. I love you. Do you believe me?” Nodding, frantic, I tell him, “Yes.” I pull him close, kiss him soft and slow, and he kisses me, too, his mouth firm, smooth, so gentle, remembering mine. “I love you,” I tell him. “I love you so much.

" You’re quiet, Brawny.”
“I’m always quiet, Willa.”
“No, you’re not. I mean, sometimes you are but, generally, you talk to me plenty.”
Ryder stops on the trail, making me bump into him. Slowly, he turns and peers down at me. “I guess I do. But that’s different. That’s only when it’s us. "
