"Thanks for the update, you beautiful bitch! Sending you x’s and o’s from across the ship. Isn’t it strange, though? Usually an illicit tryst gets it all out of your system, but it sounds like these two pals are even more hot for each other than ever. I never would’ve thought that blabbering idiot was her type. The sex must be hot. Must be a good change for Mr. Sterling, though, managing to lay someone his own age for once."

"Here’s hoping a little less lazy in her sex life, because little Stevie P is an absolute nightmare on the clock. Hang in there, reader. There’s always that one lazy coworker, and it looks like this aloof vixen holds that title like a trophy."

"Ladies first, since I’m oh-so-polite. Kalel, because that body alone could raise conflict among international relations. Natalia, because the bitch has got style. And Stevie, because aloof party animal is the new black. As for the delicious men of the Sunburst — Jamie, because he kind of has to be on this list. Easy, because that accent could get any self-respecting girl all hot and bother. And — Caleb. He’s like a puppy dog with self-loathing tendencies who we all kind of wanna hug."

"It’s a wonder it took this long. Though I must say, it’s rather peculiar. Most friends can test the waters once and get it out of their systems. But these two? I get the impression their little tryst has become a regular thing. What’s that all about?"

"Rhys and Stevie need to date."

"Maybe a little of both."

"What a question. I’d probably go with little Stevie P for doing something for naught. Fear not, though — with a generous check for unemployment pay to cash, this cutie ought to be laughing all the way to the bank.”

"These pals have never been the type to shy away from playing with fire. But tread lightly, you two. ‘Cause you know what they say — when you play with fire, someone is bound to get burned. Let’s see if they leave any rubble in their wake."
