Hang the Moon
Alexandria Bellefleur
Top 10 Best Quotes
“Since when is love supposed to be convenient?”
“The way I see it, you can’t rush something you want to last forever.”
“He looks at you like you hung the moon.”
“I just . . . I love the nuances of language and all their quirks. Like how certain words exist in foreign languages and have no direct English equivalent. Meraki in Greek means, basically, to do something with love, but there’s no English word for it. The closest is ‘labor of love,’ but that sounds like you’re being put-upon. Meraki means to do something with pleasure, to pour your whole heart into a task or craft. Like putting all your love into a meal or a gift.” She ducked her chin and shrugged. “So, yeah. Translation would be my dream job. Puzzling out how to keep the text true even when it’s not easy. There’s a cultural component you can’t ignore without”—her lips curved—“losing something in translation.”

“But I think you’re right. With the right person, I don’t think it matters what you do or where you are.”
“I do love it. That big, demonstrative moment where nothing else matters but making sure the person you care about knows it. That you’re in. You’re all in and you want everyone to know, no matter how wild or risky it is. Weddings are like that. The vows are, at least.” Something about the soft look in Annie’s eyes, wistful almost, compelled him to keep going. To confess what he’d never told anyone before. “I don’t have a single memory of my mom and dad saying I love you to each other.” Annie made a soft noise, but he soldiered on, wanting to get this out. “Maybe those movies aren’t perfect, but for most of my life, they were the best proof I had that people could wind up happy together.”
“Why is that such a hard pill to swallow?" "Because you want to solve everything for everybody. Make everyone happy. You like to fix things, but some things aren't yours to fix.”
“What would it take to become someone Annie cared about? He wanted to find out everything there was to know about her, not just to prove her wrong about romance being dead, but to satisfy his own burning curiosity.”
“There was no going back now. Not that he'd want to. He never wanted to go back. Not when he could go forward with Annie.”
