"I’ll find you a new husband" Dude, she's already got one!
"Lucy glared down at her father’s extended hand as if he were offering her a live snake. Which was really unkind to snakes everywhere." LOL!
“I raised you to be the perfect settler, Lucy. You’re supposed to do what I say without question. You were bred for it. So, stop acting like this and we can go home. Just the two of us.” Oh my gosh! That has to be the worst way to convince her to come "home", yet I could totally see him saying something like this!
"Lucy threw her hands up in frustration, forgetting all about the gun until Cooper gently rescued it from her waving hands." Aw! He's looking out for her!
I love the whole section of Hank realizing what's going on between Cooper and Lucy, and them being confused as to what he's reacting to!
"For a man who’d participated in the apocalypse, he was being rather judgy." I know, right? He totally would though.
"Lucy, still not sure what his plan was, followed his instructions without argument." Love the contrast between her reaction to Hank trying to give her orders and Cooper giving her instructions! The difference of course being that Hank really just wants to control her, while Cooper just knows what he's doing and is trying to protect her, and she knows that.
“Hold on tight. This is going to be loud,” he said, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her against him." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"There was still lots to do and they had plans to make. But for now, she let him hold her close until things didn’t seem quite so bad. Because, no matter what, at least they had each other." AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, I'm worried about what Hank is going to do in Vault 33. Guess I'll have to keep reading and find out!
