The Gargoyle from General Management (Claws & Cubicles, #3)

by Kate Prior

unfortunately, being pulled into another group. I blink and realize that everyone grouped up pretty quickly while I was standing around looking for a way out. If that’s not a summary of my entire life, I don’t know what is.

I'm the sort of person who needs to recharge her social battery with a true crime podcast for the next ten hours after talking to one person for more than ten minutes.

His eyes linger over me, in a way I'm not prepared for. “I’d like you to show me how far the need for a little, shiny sticker goes.”

I have girlbossed too close to the sun.

Fuck it, I’ll die by getting dicked down. It’ll be good. That’s probably how I was meant to go anyway.

Being weird seems to have been the one thing that's really ended up working for me, anyway. And if there's a better way to express how deeply devoted and loving you feel towards someone than being weird in his general direction, well, then, I wouldn't know about it.

“Do you think if you make it harder for people to love you, and they're still there, that will prove to you finally that you're worthy of being loved?”
