Heads, I kiss you. Tails, you kiss me. And either way, it means something.

Picture yourself standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The wind is whipping your hair. The sun is setting. You long, body and soul, for one thing. One person. You hear footsteps behind you. You turn. Who's there?
I remembered a voice. Jameson Winchester Hawthorne.

Screw Ian. Jameson didn't need Ian. It was--now and always--Jameson and Avery against the world

The answer to your first riddle,” I told him. “If yes is no and once is never,
then the number of sides a triangle has… is… two.” I drew out my reply, not
bothering to explain how I’d arrived at my answer

Beside Avery, Jameson was looking at her like she was the sun and the moon and the stars and eternity, all rolled into one.

You made me hungry," I told Jameson. "for everything. I want the world now." I held his gaze in a way that dared him to look away. "And I want it with you.

“
Stop looking at me like that," I told him sternly.
"Like what?" he countered.
I folded my arms and stared him down. "You turn on the charm when you want something."
"Heiress, you wound me." Jameson looked better smirking than anyone had a right to look.

Jameson thought about what he’d written down, and it took everything in him not to look at Avery, because suddenly, her presence here didn’t seem like a boon. It was a risk. After all, Jameson could hear the Proprietor saying, these things are always more interesting when at least a few players have “skin in the game.” Anyone reading those words would be bad. Avery reading them would open Pandora’s box.

Heiress, before we start spilling secrets, I'm going to need you to promise me a plane.'
'A plane?' I gave him an incredulous look.
'You have several.' Jameson smiled. 'I want to borrow one.'
'Why do you need a plane?' Grayson asked suspiciously.
Jameson waved away the question.
'Fine,' I told him. 'You can take one of my planes.' Yet another sentence I never thought I'd say.

You’re going to do it, aren’t you?” Avery asked. Jameson opened his eyes, stared into hers, then lit the fuse. “No, Heiress. We are.

you need someone. I understand that, Avery. And you don’t want that someone to be a Hawthorne. Whatever’s going on with you and Jameson—” “There’s nothing going on between us.” That got me an Alisa Look and then some. “First the roof, then the hotel.” She paused. “Call your friend Max. Let her be your person. Not one of them.

I held up the coin. It's not the disk," I said. But sometimes you have to improvise. My heart was racing. I was vibrating with the same energy I'd heard in his tone. And like Jameson, I loved it. My voice cracked. It means something. Jameson shot me one of those devastating, crooked Jameson Winchester Hawthorne grins. What are you saying, Heiress? I tossed the coin into the air, and as it turned, I thought about everything that had happened. All of it. I'd found Toby. I knew my mother's secret. I understood, more then ever, why my name had caught the attention of a billionaire who'd only met me once. Maybe that was all there was to it . Or maybe I was one stone ment for twelve birds, most of them still undiscovered. Like Jameson had said, this was Hawthorne House. There would always be another mystery. Like me, Jameson would always be driven to solve them. The coin landed. Tails, I said. I kiss you. I wrapped my arms around his neck. I pressed my lips to his. And this time, the joke was on me-because I wasn't playing. This wasn't nothing this was the beginning-and I was ready to be bold. -Avery Kylie Grambs (The Hawthorne Legacy)

I will always protect you" he told me, his jaw tight, his eyes shadowed. "You deserve to feel safe in your own home. And I'll help you with the foundation. I'll teach you what you need to know to take this life like you were born to it. But this...us..." He swallowed. "It can't happen, Avery. I've seen the way Jameson looks at you.

I need this,' Xander said into the microphone. 'You need this. We all need this. Nash, I’ve cued up the Taylor Swift for you. Jameson, get ready to break out those dance moves because this stage is calling your name, and we all know that your hips are utterly incapable of falsehood. And as for Grayson…' Xander paused. 'Where is Gray?'
'Grayson Hawthorne skipping out on karaoke?' Libby said. 'I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked.'
'Gray has a voice so deep and smooth that you will shed literal tears as he sings something so old school that you will come to believe he spent the 1950s wearing the most dapper of suits and hanging out with his bestie, Frank Sinatra,' Xander swore.
