Yknow why I’m excited?! Because the next chapter is gonna be out soon (right?!)
Liam’s room was the first to be stripped entirely; she wanted nothing in there left behind. That room was also the only one Aria paid to have done, so she didn’t have to do it herself
I love that she decided to keep the villa but she still loves him so much and wants nothing to do with his room
when he uttered those untrue words to her the night of the coronation, he swore he could see the moment they hastened back into place.
I knew he saw it she can’t hide her feelings as well as he can.
I love that he is staying in the room Aria designed and THERE IS A PICTURE OF HER IN THE PAMPHLET
She is freaking famous ♀️ yaaaaaaas boo!
And even looking at her picture, he’s missing her. He hasn’t seen her in TWO WEEKS!
He thought of how they said that Aria took the boat out, that she had taken it out herself. An imperceptible smile tugged at the corner of his lips; he was glad to hear that and felt so proud of her for facing that fear.
He’s proud of her AND THEN! He remembered her story about her parents and … he REMEMBERED!
Why did this get me?
I’m already emotional about this chapter and now I’m crying like a baby I blame you Anitah!
The look on her face paired with the bite in her tone told him this was already not going well, and he hadn’t even started yet.
This entire scene of her sitting up slowly and they both were staring at each other. His of anticipation and hers of shock made me giggle and then her tone did NOT make him feel better LOL omg I can’t wait for this interaction.
At that moment, Liam knew this was going to be anything but easy.
You’re playing musical boats and NOW you realize it won’t be easy?? Oh Liam you’re in for a treat.
“Is there anyone you’ve actually turned down in the last year while you’ve philandered your way through Cordonia?”
Oh my soul this trash hyena really went there?
YOU! He’s turned YOU down because your vagina smells like old tilapia that’s been sitting in the sun for WEEKS! Gtfoh you stretched out gutter wench.
Aria slowed down, and Liam looked up; she was dangling his missing keys between her fingers
I’m snorting like a crazy person
“I’m laughing because …” Constantine trailed off with a small chuckle. “Because they tend to keep a spare set of keys right there in the compartment at the helm.”
TWO HOURS
This dude was snorkeling for two hours looking for lost keys when there were spares in the boat LOL Aria knew
“So you are on a date,” Liam pressed.
Aria looked at him and could see the flicker of jealousy in his eyes.
Jealous Liam does things to me I love ittttt. She’s probably not even on a date LOL
“Oh, I’d like to fill something, but it sure ain’t his ego,” Damōn smirked as he shot Liam a wink.
And I still think that you deserve better … but you make me want to be better so I can be the man that you deserve.” He closed his eyes and let out a breath. “Aria, I love you. And I don’t … I don’t want to lose you.
There it is.
He laid it all out on the table and I’m so proud that’s really all you can do, and hope that she opens the door and tells you the truth. That she loves you back (because she does).
As he hit the first step, he paused when the terrace light flickered on, and when he heard the lock on the door click, he turned …
