“Hey, Happy.” He spoke, closing the door behind him.
“Hi Knox.” Gigi attempted a half smile. She sat, legs crossed, on the floor, her back against the wall. He looked down at her, then looked at the wall, then back down again, seemingly making a decision.
He sighed heavily and pressed his back against the wall, lowering himself down so they were both sitting on the floor, legs crossed. They sat in silence there, Gigi staring at the floor in front of her, Knox glancing at her every few seconds, brows creased in concern.
“Hey Knox?”
“Yeah Kid?”
“What does being in love feel like?” A pause.
That was not what Knox had been expecting. Was he even qualified for this? Had he ever actually been in—
Well.
Yeah.
He had.
"Love sucks." Gigi looked up at him for the first time this entire conversation.
“Love sucks,” Knox repeated, leaning his head back against the wall. “It makes you an idiot.”
"Not like you needed help with that." Gigi remarked, Knox shot her a mock glare, she smiled at him.
“You asked.” His mouth twitched slightly, but it faded fast. “One minute you’re fine, then suddenly some person walks into your life and now everything they do matters. If they’re upset, you’re upset. They're stressed, you're stressed. If they leave, it feels like someone ripped the floor out from under you.”
Gigi was quiet for a second. “That sounds awful.”
“It is.”
“But people still, well, do it.”
Knox let out a short laugh under his breath. “Yeah. But it's not really a choice, kid. Sometimes it just happens.”
She studied him carefully then, the way his jaw tightened after every sentence, the way he stared straight ahead instead of at her. Gigi had grown up around the Hawthornes long enough to recognize when someone was talking about themselves without meaning to.
“You're in love with someone.” she said softly.
Knox glanced at her finally. “I didn't say that.”
“You said enough,” Gigi spoke. She wasn't seen as the most perceptive person, but she knew for a fact that Knox Landry, whether he acknowledged it or not, was in love.
And Gigi suspected that had something to do with a certain driven, stunning, workaholic lawyer.
Silence settled again, both their minds whirring with realisations and extremely loud thoughts.
Gigi pulled her knees closer to her chest. “I think I might be in love.”
Knox looked at her.
She stared at the floor. “And it sucks”
That earned a real laugh from him, as he turned back with his back to the wall, putting an arm around her.
Top of her class her whole life until college when she started to losen up and didn’t stress as much about grades
Coffee addict

Dissociates in long conversations and gets overstimulated by crowds
Can tell when a boy’s flirting but plays dumb and ends the conversation fast
Effortless beauty
Always smiling and her laugh is contagious
Reading and daydreaming all the time
Pinterest whore (she hated the marriage but choosing their house decor and styling her girls was her favorite thing ever ever)
Distant from her family but keeps a composed calm and collected demeanor in gatherings
One minor inconvenience and she takes shelter in books and fantasies
Well and soft spoken
Used to snap but learned to endure and keep it in as she grew up (lets all cry)

Really good at giving advice
Had a small circle and like two real friends

“This ain’t what you think, Lib. I don’t have feelings for her,
but just because things don’t work out with a person
doesn’t mean they stop mattering.”
This is basically what I feel about Avery and Grayson, Cassie and Michael after the love triangle was over in book 2...
