Between this one and Brian, Elise is starting to think that’s the case, honestly.

        ‘ Somebody told me that I look like a farmer’s market brand dad and I don’t know what that means. Is it how I dress? ’

         “I don’t know where you took your wrong turn, but this isn’t Parliament.”

       ‘ Pretty girl, only seems to care for one thing? Why, a boy starts to feel used. ’ Oh, he’s perfectly aware of what their little arrangement is, likes it just fine-- but he likes winding her up even more. Hands find her waist, fingers curl into the fabric of her top. ‘ All dirty and cheap. ’

      “Do you know how t’ work one of these god forsaken things?” ah, the age of smartphones. He knows how to hotwire a car under five minutes but he can’t figure out the clock on his phone. “I’ve been tryin’ to fix th’ time on this thing for thirty minutes.”
