“Yes, but when I say it, you should reciprocate. It’s only fair.” She stared up at him, giving him her best pleading face, all big eyes and jutting lips."
“For fuck’s sake…I love you too,” he huffed, glancing up at the sky like some divine being might be able to explain Lucy to him."
Ooh, he's whipped 😌
“You doing alright there?” Cooper murmured in her ear, so quiet she barely heard him above the pounding of her heart. She nodded, worried to say anything. “We’re almost there. You’re doing great,” he added, his lips brushing against the shell of her ear." I love his treatment of her.
"It always fascinated her when people reacted to Cooper like he was the Boogeyman of the Wasteland. Maybe he was to some people."
"But to Lucy? He was her anchor in a world she was still struggling to understand. He was the one who wrapped his arms around her and promised her safety for as long as he lived."
🥺🥺🥺
"It was just too dang hard to be scared of a man who hopped around cursing over an arachnid that was a completely normal size…unlike most of the monsters in the Wastes." He's so valid. The big ones, if they're nearby, you know where they are. The little little ones though? You don't...
“Just in a hurry,” Cooper replied, sending Lucy into a seething, silent rage."
"What the actual heck was he doing? Why didn’t he just tell that woman about Lucy?"
"Cooper gave the woman a handful of caps and a smile."
“Thanks again, doll.” Cooper tipped his hat."
Oof. Cooper earned himself a spot in the doghouse!
