“@SeanCassinova Where might one procure a shoe horn in NYC?

@RugbyFan101 to @SeanCassinova I’ll loan you my horn any day of the week, baby ;-)

@SeanCassinova to @RugbyFan101 Who is this and where did you get my number?

@RugbyFan101 to @SeanCassinova Uh, this is Twitter.

@EilishCassidy @SeanCassinova Stop being an arse.”

“@LucyFitz Would you rather live the rest of your life with a human head and a horse’s body, or a horse’s head and a human body?

Ridiculous.”

“Don’t call your family ‘the fam’, Sean. It sounds douchey. Another two syllables won’t kill you,” I chided playfully.

Sean’s smirk indicated he was enjoying my criticism, and I didn’t understand that, either. “This coming from the girl with hair like a packet of Skittles.”

“My hair isn’t douchey,” I said, and flicked a few locks over my shoulder. “It brings joy to all those who gaze upon it.”
― L.H. Cosway, The Player and the Pixie

“The first day I stepped into Dr. Hollyfield’s office he’d told me about a little thing called the phone test. If a certain person calls you and you just can’t bear to pick up and talk to them, then they’re probably toxic and you should cut them from your life.

“Despite myself, I fought a smile. “You certainly have a way with words.”

“I know.” Broderick’s features rearranged themselves, settling back into impassive neutrality. “Everything out of my mouth is goddamn poetry.”

I surrendered to the smile and fought a laugh. “Loveliness, the incarnation of beauty in spoken form.”

“Like a fucking butterfly, but with sounds.”

And now I surrendered to the laugh. He laughed as well. We laughed together in a way two people cannot and do not laugh alone.”
― L.H. Cosway, The Player and the Pixie

“@LucyFitz Always trust in the kindness of strangers…except when it comes in the form of a glass of sauvignon blanc you haven’t seen them pour.

@RonanFitz to @LucyFitz What’s going on?! Is some creep offering to buy you drinks?

@LucyFitz to @RonanFitz Chillax. It’s supposed to be humorous.

@RonanFitz to @LucyFitz Well I don’t find the concept of messing with my sister funny.

@Anniecat to @LucyFitz I apologize for your brother”

“Material objects are transitory. The joy they bring is momentary and hollow . . . Strangely, my mantra wasn’t working right then. So, you’ve probably already guessed my secret. I had an addiction . . . or maybe a compulsion was the better word. I was a thief. A shoplifter. And the mere sight of consumer items small enough to conceal within the confines of a purse or a coat pocket gave me twitchy fingers like you wouldn’t believe. It was abhorrent, I knew that, and I struggled daily with my guilt. In fact, I’d been doing so well in my attempts to quit. To be a better person. Six months ago I’d moved to New York to begin a new job as a celebrity photographer/blogger/YouTuber, and I resolved to stop. It was my chance for a fresh start. I hadn’t stolen a single thing in all that time. Yes, the Big Apple remained untouched by my habit for five-finger discounts. And yet, there I stood, just itching to steal that flipping ridiculous bottle of nail polish. I knew the reason why, and her name began with a J. That would be Jackie Fitzpatrick, my mother, and provider of inferiority complexes everywhere. It was summer and I’d come home to Dublin for a visit, see my brother and his fiancée, meet up with some friends. The problem was, I’d committed to staying at Mam’s for the duration. I was only back a day before she started in with the usual comments. When are you ever going to meet a man and settle down? Those baggy jeans do nothing for your figure.”
