I promise I’ll never, ever do that again.
I’m sorry, but what exactly did this man learn? He spent the whole book projecting his anger onto her, cutting her down, patronizing her, treating her like an idiot, and acting like an unprofessional monster. He was constantly flipping between Jekyll and Hyde—from sweet boy-next-door with a bad boy aesthetic to a spitting, raging asshole. Then, when it mattered most, he throws another fit and talks to Joelle like she’s a moron and then he proceeds to ghost her for DAYS. And now he comes back, “promising” he’ll never do it again?? Actions speak louder than words. Like wtf does this mean when he’s proven time and time again that he can’t learn from his mistakes and evolve as a person?
