Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Ahhhh…” Marco dismissed the argument with a sigh. “Like my father says, ‘if Lia likes to fuck niggers and is stupid enough to get pregnant by one, let it be one from a solid standing family. That’s what the Ellises are. And if she’s gonna do it with any of the Ellis boys, better it be that educated nigger than the crazy one!”
“Grazie per l'invito. Mi dispiace mio padre non ha potuto partecipare. Molti ritorni, Salvatore.”
“He a big time preacher, travel around the globe…the nigga is a big damn deal in their network. This dude got mad school degrees—one from Oxford, wherever the fuck that joint is overseas—done traveled to places a bitch can’t name, speak a bunch of different languages and is so damn smart, it makes him weird as fuck!”
you can’t see or understand your opponent, you have to stay connected to your covering. Instead of you fighting in the flesh—fighting on your job, threatening divorce to your spouse, or losing hope for the child He entrusted to your care—you need to apply the same fervor of your fear and frustration to supplication.”
“What do you want from me?” I heard the crack in my voice. “What I told you last week. To be a friend.”
“I told you. To be a friend.”
“Not that we’re friends—I am your friend. Right?”
“Bilan,” his tone was clearer, less affectionate. “just as there’s a ‘no clothes in my bed’ rule, there’s a ‘no leaving my bed until I’ve had you’ regulation.” I turned in his arms to face him. “Regulation?” “Yes. Unless I dismiss you, I may need your body to help regulate my mind for the day.”

“Give me the one piece of reciprocity I’ve been fighting for.” “What’s that?” “Your heart,”
“Be my friend.”
