And Then Quotes

“He didn’t know you could hate someone and still want them around. That you could never want to see someone again but still wish they were sleeping beside you, throwing off too much body heat, wrapped around you with sleep heavy limbs that leave you trapped under their body, feeling anything but trapped.”
― Taylor Fitzpatrick, And Then

“He looks at the ice, scarred by skate blades, and for a second he wishes Jake were there, wishes for it so badly, because he’d have some comeback for Benson, something not even remotely ashamed. He’d know exactly what to say, while David bites his tongue so hard it stings. He wishes Jake were there even if it was just to be standing shoulder to shoulder with David so David wouldn’t be shoved next to Benson, quiet now but probably with plenty still to say. Even if it was just to be there. But then the moment fades, and all he has left is the nausea. All he has left is the inability to meet anyone’s eyes.

All he has left is himself, and he’s used to that, but he still can’t bear to
look at Kurmazov, to see what expression he’d find.”
