but she took the time to look back at us and shine on us a brilliant smile, assuring us that everything would be just fine.
Ooooh I love Henrietta.
Those remarkable eyes drank me in, then swallowed me down.
Your sister is literally dying.
I felt quite pleased to see the doctor start in surprise.
Again. YOUR SISTER IS LITERALLY DYING.
Chris nudged me sharply, mutely signaling I was revealing too much.
Yeah dude shut the fook up!
“So you see, Doctor,”
Dharman "so youb see..." XD
Come live in my home of twelve lonely rooms.
Have we honestly learned nothing from the first book about big ass houses?!
was I so much like her?
But how fascinating to know that men of forty were susceptible to girls of fifteen.
Yes fascinating indeed. >_>
I had to have everything I’d seen on Momma’s fabulous dressing table. Even her kind of wrinkle cream, plus a mud pack for firming.
Yet you hate your mothers materialism???
As long as you live, it will be me and you.”
Trauma bond.
“Then you must be only mediocre.” She half-sneered, turned toward her husband and waved her hand arrogantly to dismiss us.
Um bitch?!
“you know I’ve ruined what chance I had! Why did I bleed like that?”
Oh gid was it a miscarrage?!
Those missed periods of yours must have clotted and then broke free.”
BROTHER WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!?!?!?!
(I’d forced myself to put back the hidden cache of food—and no one knew about that but Chris.)
Oof my heart. How hard that must be!
“Cathy, you’re awfully pretty. Maybe too pretty. I look at you and see our mother all over again, the way you move your hands, and the way you tilt your head to the side. Don’t enchant our doctor too much. I mean, after all, he’s a man. He has no wife—and you’ll be living in the same house with him.” He looked up, his eyes suddenly sharp. “Don’t rush into anything trying to escape what you feel for me. I mean it, Cathy.”
There is so much wrong with this!
for all of a sudden I wasn’t sad, or gloomy, but felt an onrush of sensuality.
Girl you just assured your brother nothing weird would happen with you and Dr. Paul.
“I hate it when you call me that!” he interrupted. “Use my first name or don’t speak to me at all.”
What a flip?
Why did you let me do what I did?”
You are a grown ass man. Tf you meeeeean???
“Look, Cathy. I’m half in love with you already. But no girl strings me along like I’m some country bumpkin. There are plenty of girls willing to give out—so I don’t need you as much as I thought—not for anything!”
Eeeeeeew!!
I loved her, and I wanted her, and in the end I raped her—or so she said time and again.
Hold up doc. WHAT?!
I should have known how unstable Julia was.
Bruh. This is ROUGH. Like yeah she was unstable, i dont think i would have blamed her for her actions against herself, but not Scotty!!!
“Then I’ll just pretend you’re my bridegroom, and I have just come from the bathroom after getting un-dressed. Or maybe I should undress in front of you. What do you think?”
JESUS H. CHRIST
When I waited on the corner for a bus, cars slowed because male drivers couldn’t keep from gaping at me.
Little full of yourself arent you?
Really, Cathy, wait for compliments from others—don’t give them to yourself.”
First off bitch mind your business!
Truly I hated him when he acted like that. He tried to demonstrate in every way possible that I belonged to him and him alone.
I will literally scream if you give this tool bag a chance. What a fuck boy!
My head swiveled from one to the other and between the two it was hard to say which was the better looking.
Ew Cathy they are about to fight!
It was of utmost importance to find the perfect partner when you wanted to impress in a pas de deux.
Thats not love!
“I take it you’ll sleep with just any man if that’s necessary.”
Ouch!
“what’s come over you? I didn’t think you’d ever become another opportunist.”
Just like momma! YOU'RE JUST LIKE PAPA! XD
Then she said in a low voice to the sexy Longhurst, “You report to my office when this is under control.”
Oof miss Longhurst you are IN FOR IT.
It was beneath his dignity, of course, to set a table, but for once he obliged without complaint.
The hustle and bustle is very reminiscent of the birthday party they threw for their dad that ended in tragedy.
Good-bye, Christopher Doll—now you are set free.
Ok she was r*ped by her brother in the first book, and now statutory rape by the gaurdian?!
“When I’m gone it will be Thelma Murkel for you again, won’t it?” I asked with some bitterness, for I wanted him to stay faithful, no matter how many miles I put between us.
You are literally leaving him for Julian. Tf.
“You’ve still got me every day, and Henny,”
How does that help?! Like?! She wants her siblings dead!
“What do you mean?”
Bro he lied to you! Its not too late to fly back to paul chris and carrie!
“Oh, Cathy, what a life we’re going to live, you and I! What heaven will be ours when you find out you’ve got sole property rights to the handsomest and most gifted and graceful danseur ever born.” He drew me even closer and whispered in my ear, “And I haven’t said a word about the talented lover I am.”
GAG!
he would tell them in private I was old-fashioned and ashamed to admit we were “living in sin.”
Ugh thats disgusting
I want you to be my wife.”
What is this fever dream book where all the men in her life have fallen head over heels in love with her and all of these relationships are wildly inappropriate or toxic.
“You’re a cockteaser. You lead me on while we dance, then kick me in the groin when we’re not!”
I hate Julian. Hes a disgusting human who only sees Cathy as a tool for his own sucess. That isnt love!
He shot me a fierce, distraught look then bore down hard on the gas pedal! We sped down all those rain-slick streets, and every so often he’d glance my way to see how I was enjoying the terrifying ride! He laughed, wild and crazy, then braked so fast I was flung forward so my forehead struck the windshield! Blood trickled from the cut. Next he snatched the purse from my lap, leaned to unlock my door, then he shoved me out into the pouring rain!
OH MY GOD!
“Goddamn you to hell for leading me on!” he raged, then hurled himself out of my apartment.
Julian what?! She told you over and over again she didnt want you!!
even Paul.
Yikes.
so why can’t it be me?”
You're her BROTHER. Christ sakes...
and age does count!
SO DOES RELATION BRUH!
Are you fool enough to think this affair has gone unnoticed? In a town the size of Clairmont everybody knows everything.
End scene for her relationship with Paul.
“You miscarried a two-headed embryo with three legs—twins who didn’t separate properly. You poor thing, don’t you know a D & C is an abortion procedure?”
OH MY GOD?!
You’re beautiful, young, gifted, and to live in sin with a married man is a pure waste. Save yourself while you can.”
Paul is the most acceptable man she COULD marry between the 3 men in her life now IMO. Also hes not married. He's widowed.
Julia lives in an institution where my brother put her after she drowned Scotty. She’s still his legal wife, insane or not.”
FUCKING HELL!
And that young man—he’s spectacular. Take him.
Gurl just be single!
Never had Julian been sweeter or more considerate.
Yeah i'm sure he's looking a whole lot better than Paul right now.
