Cal raises both of his hands up in the air. “No! It’s not my fault my brother’s attitude is bigger than his dick.”
Cal scoffs. “Of course he fucked this up. His latest software update didn’t include a manual on how to be a decent human being.”
Cal whistles before making an explosion noise. “That’s the sound of Declan’s future dying.”
“Special is the last word I would use to describe you.” It feels far too generic for someone like her.
“Family therapy is on Thursday nights. Don’t be late!”
Cal: Maybe you caught him in a good mood. Me: Was there a global tragedy that gave him the warm fuzzies this morning? Cal: According to the news, there’s a shrimp shortage that has people throwing hands but that’s all.
“Being the Kane family disappointment is a full-time job, thank you very much. Benefits are shit though.”
“I swear you were only put on this earth to make my life miserable.” Declan jabs the elevator button. Cal fake sniffles. “I finally found my life’s purpose all thanks to you.”
“Welcome to the dark side—we have liquor.” He passes me a full glass.
“I can assure you that I will always have Iris’s best interests at heart.” Even if they jeopardize mine.
“Elephants.”
Cal’s gaze narrows. “Don’t look at me that way. I don’t have nearly as many daddy issues as the other two.” “That’s because you have a whole host of other problems.” “It makes me layered.” “No. It means you need to seek therapy.”
“Then settle down, Romeo. This is a romance, not a porno.”
“I’m enjoying the view.” She glances out the window. “Says the man who hasn’t even looked outside once.” “That’s not the view I’m talking about.”
“I’m not confused. Far from it, actually. I know exactly what I want.” “And what is that?” “You.”
“You might have gone about all the steps in the wrong order, but that doesn’t mean you can’t restart from the beginning and try again.”
Danger. Red alert. DEFCON 1 activated.
“I spent a long time underestimating myself, only to realize I needed to make it past the bad stuff and find the light.”
