Fresh Catch Quotes

“I’m not like most people,” I said carefully. “I don’t feel the need to post all of my thoughts and experiences on the internet, or see anyone else’s thoughts and experiences. I’d rather take my time to understand someone piece by piece. I don’t want to condense anyone down to a blurb or caption. I want to hold and treasure every piece, and I want someone to do the same to me.”

“I’d never experienced sex like this before. There was the insanely good fucking component but that wasn’t the whole story. It was the feeling of it all. The emotion behind every thrust, the intention in every kiss, the promise in every breath we shared.

“And praying that he was gay. Hell, I'd be happy with bisexual. I'd scrub the memories of all those pretty young bi boys I'd met in Bar Harbor and Kennebunkport over the years. The ones who sucked cock like they'd declared it their major. The ones who preferred to sneak around because their parents wouldn't understand, or so they claimed. The ones who always went back to Yale or Penn, and their girlfriends, come September. The ones who returned summers later for their posh, picturesque weddings. The ones who taught me to stick with one-night stands and no last names because my heart was too tender for anything real.”

― Kate Canterbary, Fresh Catch

“This was crazy. Even if he looked like rough-palmed sex, he was straight. Probably. Maybe. Aw fuck, I couldn’t tell. The longer I thought about it, the easier it was to convince myself that he was gay and a huge, husky gift to me from the sea. From Poseidon himself. But it wasn’t like I had enough game to make anything happen. I’d earned my born-again virgin chip some time ago.”
― Kate Canterbary, Fresh Catch

“Men like him don’t exist in my world. They just didn’t look like this, not even when they worked at it. they were products of CrossFit, “clean” eating, style consultants, image strategists. And Owen couldn’t compare to any of that.
Thank God
He wasn’t affected by anything other than his environment, and I figured he liked it that way.
Fuck, I liked it that way.”
