Triple-Duty Bodyguards Quotes

“To function in society, you need to believe that you’re safe. We all know it’s a lie, but it’s a lie you need to believe to survive. Realistically, everybody knows that they’ll die one day. Everybody knows that, every second, around the world, people are getting killed, and assaulted, and robbed, and hurt. At this very moment, people are losing their kids, being run over, getting diagnosed with terminal illnesses. We’re living in a motherfucking horror movie, but most people can convince themselves that they’re safe. And they go about their lives, thinking about money, and their annoying neighbours, and celebrity gossip, like any of that fucking matters.”

“I’ve spent all this bloody time trying to work through my shit. I thought I was ready.”
“Ready for what?”
“For you. I don’t want you to tie yourself to a man who wakes you up screaming every other night. How the hell can I ask you to devote the rest of your life to me—to start a family with me, to one day have kids with me—when I can’t even control my own damn brain?” He takes a deep breath, shaking his head. “I can’t ask that of you. It’s completely unfair.”
“Are you done?” I ask. He cuts me a glare. I sigh. “Matt, I don’t want to demean your emotions, or anything. But the soldier denying himself relationships because of his PTSD is, like, so overdone.”
He snorts. “Yeah?”
“Yeah. Like, if I saw it in a script, I’d toss the whole thing into the trash. It’s a cliché. And not even a good one. It always annoys the audience.”
“Why?”
“Cause it’s ridiculous, you dipshit.”
― Lily Gold, Triple-Duty Bodyguards

“Dove,” he says softly. “Like the symbol of peace.”
I look up at him. “Peaceful? Us?”
He hesitates. “When I was discharged, I joined the Angels because I didn’t give a shit about dying. I’d already been through Hell. I figured, what with all my baggage, and this,” he waves a hand over his face, “I’d never have a regular, happy family life.
