Yeah. I even pondered what these "waves" were. I thought they were all something to do with water.

OMG, same here.. Whatever I read waves, it always made me think of water..

I usually do too. But that never cross my mind.

I've seen the term used like this before I just can't remember where.

Nice thank you !!!

Stay to the Lights · 04-05-2015, 06:29 AM

Oh really? If you remember, let me know.

I'm not sure what the point of that kiss between Ben and Cassie was at the end. Was that a thank you. Maybe for her it might have made her realize she only liked him from afar, but that she didn't have those feelings for him any longer; But on his side... I have no clue.

What did you think of Ringer?

Drunk On You · 04-05-2015, 04:09 PM

Now I'm blanking. Did they actually kiss? I thought he kissed her on the cheek.

This is the passage;

Quote:

“I wanted to thank you,” he says.
“For what?” I ask.
“You saved my life.”
I shrug. “You picked me up when I fell,” I say. “So we’re even.”
My face is covered in bandages, my hair looks like a bird nested in it, I’m dressed up like one of Sammy’s toy soldiers, and Ben Parish leans over and kisses me anyway. A light little peck, half cheek, half mouth.
“What’s that for?” I ask, my voice coming out in a tiny squeak, the little girl’s from long ago, the freckle-faced Cassie-I-was with the fuzzy hair and knobby knees, an ordinary girl who shared an ordinary yellow school bus with him for an ordinary day.
In all my fantasies about our first kiss—and there’d been about six hundred thousand of them—I never once imagined it would be like that one. Our dream kiss usually involved moonlight, or fog, or moonlight and fog, a very mysterious and romantic combination, at least in the right locale. Moonlit fog beside a lake or a lazy river: romantic. Moonlit fog in almost any other place, like a narrow alleyway: Jack the Ripper.
Do you remember the babies? I asked in my fantasies. And Ben always goes, Oh yes. Sure I do. The babies!
“Hey, Ben, I was wondering if you remember…We rode the bus together in middle school, and you were talking about your little sister, and I told you Sammy was just born, too, and I was wondering if you remembered that. About them being born together. Not together, that would make them twins, ha-ha—I mean at the same time. Not the exact same time, but about a week apart. Sammy and your sister. The babies.”
“I’m sorry…Babies?”
“Never mind. It’s not important.”
“Nothing is not important anymore.”
I’m shaking. He must notice, because he puts his arm around me and we sit like that for a while, my arms around Sammy, Ben’s arm around me, and together the three of us watch the sun break over the horizon, obliterating the dark in a burst of golden light.

Okay so I guess it was half on the mouth and half cheek.
But he never did answer why he did it for.. gradititude?

I just thought it was like a friendly kiss.

Although I wished he remember the babies or know who she was from school.

Stay to the Lights · 04-06-2015, 10:49 PM

Yeah, I wish he would have remembered that too. I guess it was just one of those things that happened back then that he didn't really focus too much on, and so much has happened since.

**fly me to the moon** · 04-07-2015, 12:53 PM

I need to read it again before the movie..

Stay to the Lights · 04-08-2015, 07:43 AM

I'll prob even re-read the 2nd book before the last book comes out in Sept.

**fly me to the moon** · 04-08-2015, 04:30 PM

Stay to the Lights · 04-10-2015, 08:50 AM

**fly me to the moon** · 04-12-2015, 08:21 AM

Yeah even tho the first time, you won't able to understand, but confusing about what's going on.. But at least it was enjoyable..
