They Came from the Ocean (Creature Encounters, #2)

by Boris Bacic

“Listen, when my mother died, I was like you. I didn’t want to do nothing. I slept all day long, and that only made things worse for me. I couldn’t stand to be in my head, so I wanted to escape. I wanted to talk to someone. But problem was, I didn’t have who to talk to, so I found something else to keep myself busy. I watered the flowers. I vacuumed the house. I did laundry. I went for walks and jogging. I worked hard all day because then voice in my head went quiet. And then I sleep like a baby. Months later, I was ready to go back to work. The pain is still here. I still miss my mom. But I’m okay. And you will be, too, because you have me.”

💜 so sweet.

She didn’t want to bother Sasha with calls or texts and give her the impression that she contacted her only when she was down.

I get that.

As much as he cherished what he and Ellie shared, he had to return to the surface alive. He had a life up there. Friends and a girlfriend who he had been long-distance dating for a few years now. He never told Ellie about Sharon. She didn’t need to know about that. In fact, he hadn’t told anyone on the SEALAB about it. He and Sharon were wobbly at best, but he didn’t want to ditch her just yet until he figured out what would happen between him and Ellie.

Wow, here I was thinking he had a wobble due to the intense circumstances, but nope he was always just a piece of crap. She didn't need to know about the other woman? Nah, you deserve your doom.
