Also, one time I was there to witness her calling Marle Langsby an ashy-lipped demon who was filled with nothing but hate,” Mason chuckled a bit. “You have to admire a woman who speaks her mind.”

Under normal circumstances he’d be too nervous to ask her out. Probably tell her a few jokes, show her a terrible magic trick or his skills on the fife, and ultimately friendzone himself in under five minutes flat.

His general thickness didn’t help either. She looked him up and down, more closely this time. This was a man who did not skip leg day or a meal.

I want to actually enjoy myself and not feel like sex is something I’m supposed to do.”

“I think the older I get, the less important it seems to me. I’m not hung up on carrying on a family name, which, I know, blasphemy, but you have to raise a person. Seems like a lot of pressure.”
