Angie's Gladiator (Icehome, #4)

by Ruby Dixon

I think of how she reached her hand out to me, a mere clone, as if I am her equal.

Aaawww my heart goes out to him

So they are mentally impaired. I nod, my suspicions confirmed. "I wish to hunt a pickle for Angie," I tell her. "Tell me where I can slay such a beast." "He is something else," Flordeliza whispers. "Angie can fucking have him," Bridget adds, louder.

Lmao :-D he's too funny!!!

I nod magnanimously. "I had no idea you were slow of learning." "Wait," Harlow yelps. "No—" "Yeah, I'm just gonna pick up my stuff and leave," Bridget says, interrupting. "C'mon, Flor. Let's go find us a short bus."

Hahahaha!!!! The short bus lol !!

“If I cannot hunt a pickle, tell me how to be fast enough to get in her hole.”

Ok its just hilariousness from the start huh?!

"You okay?" "Me? Yes." I smile, even though I don't feel it much lately. "I'm fine, why?" "Because I have eyes and I don't buy all the smiles you're tossing around?" Liz eyeballs me shrewdly. "You seem unhappy. And while I realize that is an incredibly stupid thing to point out given that you're stranded on an ice planet with aliens, I worry about you. I know this is a lot to take in."

God bless Liz and her no nonsense approach

“I mean that you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” Vordis murmurs. “I do not care that you have a child in your belly or that you cannot resonate. I know that my eyes have only ever seen you.”

That's The sweetest!!

“You are strong and brave,” he reassures me. “You have been strong and brave ever since you arrived here. No other female could take all that you have been given.” His breath whispers against my ear. “Strength does not always mean fists, my heart. Sometimes it means waking up to endure another day.”

Whoknew Vordis was this freaking sweet!
