“This is fucking strange.”
Who is he talking to?
Now was the time for low-key, easy and convenient. It was Nick’s new motto. Or at least he wanted it to be.
Nick had known what he felt, and he wasn’t the kind of man to run from that. When you loved someone you did what it took to make it work, and they had.
You know this is going to come back up later
“You share a backyard with your next-door neighbor.”
This is probably the most unrealistic part of this for me. I've never seen a townhouse that didn't fence in the yards.
His laugh was contagious. It made Nick want to do it too.
Yes, I know what contagious means
When Nick cared about someone, he cared one hundred percent. He didn’t play games.
Why tell us this again? Is she getting paid by the word?
She’s just what you need, a traditional, down-to-earth, family woman.”
This is so religion-coded, like obviously this will become an issue down the line
You’d be happy settled down and married again with the right woman…”
Hasn't he only been divorced for like a day?
That was the good thing about his job, he worked during the day.
OMG I hate this - his job is during the day? That's what's good about it? What a stupid fucking sentence, be less of an apologist for capitalism, please.
The bartender set an order of potato skins down for Bryce. “This is the only place I order these. They’re my favorite.
I literally don't care. Why is he telling us this? Went did the author add this? Are potato skins going to come up later? If this is a symbol I swear to god that I will rage.
He enjoyed talking to Bryce, enjoyed hearing how Bryce saw the world, because in some ways it was so incredibly different than Nick, while in others it was the same.
How? GIVE ME DETAILS
I love to cook.”
Can he say one different thing or is that the only thing that he likes to do?
“Nicholas works hard, the way a good man should. His wife didn’t appreciate that. He doesn’t deserve to get it from his family as well.”
It's like every fucking trad wife stereotype... Try to be a little less obvious?
He loved Bryce’s humor, the way he said whatever was on his mind.
When is he going to be funny?
He got the stuff to make homemade pasta, his secret sauce and rosemary chicken breasts.
Why does he only ever make pasta?
Bryce dumped his bag out on the counter, did what he needed to do, and then climbed into the shower. This was all pretty awkward and would take some getting used to, but hell, he wanted Nick enough that he’d do just about anything.
She never actually says what he does lol
“Not nearly as much if you would have told me in the beginning, instead of letting me believe a lie for…how long, Bryce? How long have I thought that you were in love with Christi when you weren’t?”
All the parents are so selfish and also deranged
He was going to fucking kill Nick. This whole time he’d let Bryce believe that they were still talking, but he’d turned his back on his family…for Bryce.
This is such proof that this was written by a straight person, it's borderline offensive
“You don’t have to. Maybe none of us do. Why does everything have to be so black and white? Boy or girl? Gay or straight? Why does everything have to have a reason? Maybe some things don’t have reasons. Maybe they’re destined to be
What the fuck kind of nonsense is this?
