Two Brutes, One Barista Quotes

“After I’d accepted his proposal, he’d offered to help me get back into fighting shape. We’d both gotten hot and sweaty on my brothers’ weight set, grunting and groaning with effort. He’d been beside me, helping correct my squat form, and behind me, saying, “Harder. Harder!”, and in front of me, murmuring, “Oui, that’s it”, and under me, egging me on as I rose and fell. … Okay, okay, I’ll stop.”
