英语读书笔记-Book Lovers Day 08

Part 1

1. And a beard that manages to be rugged without looking unruly.
2. He’s brawny - the word pops into my head.
3. His flannel shirt snug, the sleeves rolled up his forearms.
4. I’d even settle for a strangled “Hello, good sir”.
5. He smells like evergreens and impending rain.
6. This man is mythic, the too-shinny lead in a rom-com that has you shouting.
7. His smile deepens(matching dimples, of course)
8. My heart whirring like an overheated laptop.
9. I find myself not atop Mount Olympus but in a coffee shop with exposed brick walls and wooden floors.
10. The light streaming in hits a glass display case of pastries and plastic-wrapped sandwiches.
11. I get into the line and scope out the crowd, a mix of hip, outdoorsy types in strappy hiking sandals.
12. But good-looking in the way of a mere mortal, with coarse, dark hair and a lean elegance.
13. The longer you gawk, the more sure you become that you’ve never actually looked at Mathew Broderick’s nose before.
14. But I duck out, tucking myself on the far side of a bookshelf filled with board games.

Part 2

1. If it really is Charlie, it would be mortifying for him to see me hiding here —like seeing your stodgiest teacher outside a teens-only club while wearing a crop top and fake belly button ring.
2. The man who may or may not be my professional nemesis slides his phone from his pocket.
3. Only they’re still too full, so basically he’s pouting.
4. An honest-to-god chill slithers down my spine when my phone buzzes in my hand.
5. With even less time to confirm or dispel my fears.
6. What about Bigfoot erotica? Have some queries in my slush pile. Good fit for you?
7. The barista summons Maybe Charlie forward with a cheery smile, but he mumbles something and step out of line.
8. My middle-class party trick tallies him up from head to toe, five hundred dollars of neutral tones, but if he was going for camouflage, it’s not working.
