Kindle Notes & Highlights
His face drops, and I see more suffering, more disappointment than I can even process. He looks like I just broke his heart.
BECAUSE YOU DID!
Without even realizing it, my head leans into The Ivory’s side.
That made me nauseous
Kemper is straight,
HA!
My father… I think it reminds me of my father.
That’s not surprising. The daddy issues were clear from jump
just because you become comfortable with something, and complacent in the way you’re living, that doesn’t make it right.
Suddenly, the bedroom door whips open. My heart jumps into my throat as Velle storms into the room, panting like he just ran a mile, closing the door behind him and pressing his back to it while he stops to catch his breath.
I just know I’m about to cry…
“Harley… please. Don’t touch me. If you touch me right now, I’ll break the fuck down.”
Sometimes you just have to though
Velle is insistent that he’ll handle The Ivory, and while neither me nor Rook like that thought one bit, we accept it.
Why are we not making much needed MURDER plans for that man????
It’s really not the time for me to be ogling, but Rook’s booty looks delicious in those sweats,
Ma’am! PLEASE😭
It’s always tough helping someone deal with death. It involves a lot of standing around,
That’s honestly so true
“Let’s go, my loves.”
Swoon
It’s beyond sweet, how he really wants nothing more than Velle’s endless comfort.
Rook comes in with a swift punch to the dude’s gut and he keels over in the chair, grumbling out all kinds of curses. “Answer the fucking question, prick,” Rook snarls. “Jesus, that’s hot.” Velle bites his lip.
Can yall be so fr 💀
Rook and I share a look. “What should we do with him?” “Who cares.” Velle rubs his eyes, defeated. “Kill him. Toss his body in the East River. What does it even matter…”
I really appreciate how they’re all just kinda bad people and not ashamed of it 😭
I can see how high he is on the pleasure-pain, face flushed and tears in his eyes.
I know he look good too
“So what the fuck are we gonna do?” Joy asks. “What’s the plan? Should we run?”
Now girl you know damn well YOU can’t run. Them two niggas have nothing else to lose but YOU have a whole family he could kill. Be so fucking for real rn
If only all those guys knew how much he’s been putting his ass on the line for them all this time. Literally.
Too soon
“If there’s one thing I do know, it’s how to handle him.”
Upsetting stuff man
“Shut up,” I growl, cutting his words off with my mouth on his.
Starting to see why you had to do this alone😭
“You think you can just come in here and demand things of me? Who the fuck do you think you are? I made you.” “Well, Dr. Frankenstein… then you created this monster.” I wink at him.
Oh you CHEWED with that!
“You’ll be back,” he rasps. “This little show of independence is cute, but it will never last. I know what’s best for you. No one else.” “Nah,” I huff, tugging once more for good measure before letting him go. “I think I’m over my daddy issues.”
Lmao, period
“Alright, killas. Listen up. I am the Captain now.”
Help?
“Mmm… yea. He should’ve caged us when he had the chance.”
Deadass. Cause yall are all scary mofos
wristbands I saved from my first Pride parade.
Omg twinssss!
I feel like Cinderella in her goddamn glass slipper. My mouth quirks again, devious grin widening as I hold up my weapon. And for some sick, twisted reason, I find myself muttering, “Daddy’s home.”
when I asked Velle what the Warden said, he simply replied, “No cryin in the club,”
For being basically so isolated from society for over a decade he’s been using a lot of pop culture references 💀
Rook is holding Velle by the waist while he stands with his arms out, yelling, “I’m flying, Jack!!”
Im screaming
“They’re from Boston. It’s different,” he points out. “Boston loves the queers. North Dakota… not so much.”
Really? Never really got the “love” vibe. Also I weirdly think polyamory is gonna be harder to sell than pansexual… but maybe that’s just my assumption
“Harley, how many bisexual men does your dad know?” He shoots me a look. “Trick question,” I reply, then mumble, “He doesn’t believe in bisexual…” “I rest my case.”
Screaming
“Look, stop being a whiny bitch.” Joy sighs, shoving a shirt at him. “Just be yourself. What are you… scared? You’re like the most intimidating person on earth. If they have shit to talk, they’ll just do it behind your back, like any regular family. So buck the fuck up, get dressed, and come take a shot with me… ‘Cause I’m sorta nervous, too.”
I love joy
pouring us each a shot of tequila. We hold them all up, and I toast, “To coming out of the fucking closet.” They mutter amen, and we all clink, whipping them back.
Period
stop sucking each other’s butts
Hello? 💀
“So lovely to meet you,” Velle and Joy say in unison like the Children of the Corn.
That’s hilarious. Why are they scaring the hoes?🤣
“I get murdery when I’m nervous.”
💀
“They’re just people.” “Yea… Good people.” He tucks his hair behind his ear. “I don’t know how to act around the innocent.”
“Mom, he said they,” Keira butts in. “Meaning it’s either someone who identifies as they, or it’s more than one person.” She shoots a satisfied smirk at me.
I like Kiera
My dad looks perplexed. At that more than the fact that one of them is a guy,
I kinda assumed as much tbh
“Scoot over. Jesus…” They both chuckle and move to make room for me. “Harley! Language,” my mom scolds.
Oh they small town fr 😭
everyone is nestled up in the living room, watching some horror movie Joy and Velle picked out. My mom looks terrified the whole time, while the two of them keep laughing at it like it’s a comedy.
Horror is a wild movie genre pic for the first time meeting one of your SO family lol
“Just because I’m not woke,
White people saying woke AND misusing it at the same time…. It makes my back itch man
“The man who runs this place… His name is Manuel Blanco. But he goes by The Ivory. I want you to use some of your connections to find out everything you can about him.”
You do realize you could get your father killed by asking this of him right?
A pair of black-framed glasses, resting on the side table, by the couch. Just like the ones Darcey wears.
Dr. Love and Darcy are…. And you can’t convince me otherwise
Hope you got my good side. Just kidding. All my sides are good.
what’s the good without a little evil?
I knew I was meant to kill him.
So how do we feel? How many pairs of panties did we go through??
💀💀💀💀💀
I’m meticulous in my details.
I appreciate that 😘
Manuel Blanco is still a mystery, and he will be until his book.
He’s getting a WHOLE BOOK????
