Kindle Notes & Highlights
What you need more than anything is an attitude adjustment. You have this sense of entitlement that rears its ugly head all the time. Until you get rid of that, you’re not gonna get far, boy.”
Asshole extraordinaire... Seriously, wtf? How is that wording helpful? Yes please, humiliate him. If i rolled my eyes any harder I'd see the back of my skull.
I’m twenty-four.” It was all he could say when his soul felt like it had been cut to shreds. He’d never realized how much Blake didn’t like him. Blake’s eyes narrowed. “Then fucking act like it. You’re entitled to shit, and the sooner you realize that, the better. If you want something, anything, you’re gonna have to work hard for it. And you’d better learn how to ask for help, because people aren’t lining up to help you.”
Another example of unhelpful assholery. This guy is supposed to be a safe space for the abused and battered? He's off to a great start...
It’s wise to start with rebuilding your body, then the mind will follow. A strong mind in a strong body, that’s kind of our mantra here.
“Aaron, you’re trying too hard to be someone you’re not. You’re aggressive, for instance, when that’s not your nature. It’s like you’re an omega trying to pretend you’re an alpha wolf. You’re not. You’re a puppy, a pleaser, born to be conquered.”
Born to be conquered? Are you serious with that shit?
“You have to wonder,” Blake said kindly, “if love that has strings attached, that requires you to be a certain way, is truly love.”
“Blake, why are you helping me? Why are you being so nice and patient?” “Because a long time ago, someone was kind and nice and patient to me when I needed it, and it changed my life.
“Blake is right. You look stunning.” Colin smiled, putting a hand on Aaron’s shoulder. “Welcome to the light side where we love pretty clothes.”
“Aaron, I don’t do relationships. I like you, I really do, but don’t read more into this. I don’t date or hold hands or do romantic dinners.” “That’s okay. I don’t need that. What I need is a safe place to gain some experience.
“I’m gonna testify,” Indy said suddenly. Noah froze. What? “They killed two little girls. It’s enough. I’m gonna bring those motherfuckers down.”
“I thought the whole purpose of coming here was to see if you were the best option for me. You know, to lose my virginity to. But if no one is gonna approach me when I stick close to you, how will I compare?” Holy hell. He had him there, didn’t he? He’d told Aaron to come here, to scout his opportunities, yet now he was telling him to stick close. He couldn’t even think about Aaron leaving with some other guy.
“I’ll be in Boston. Josh, my love, we have to end this. What I’ve planned is absolutely crazy, and it’s fucking dangerous, but I’m convinced it’ll work.”
