♛ Demetri Avery

“I think you just might have left out a side order of some unexplained things.”

"Its just..this place is just so—I don’t know how to explain it." 

"The city eats you, chews you up, and spits you out."

"Tell me about it."

"American names are not my specialty. You’re all Johns and and Franks to me. So plain and hard to pronounce."

"They are boring, that's why the one you picked appealed to me. I just can't pull it off as well as I'd like."

"José Luiz."

"José Luiz it is then."

"You should get that fixed."

"You think I need a new name? Easier said than done."

"You told Lucille?! Naveen and Ronan I can handle but that little h-" Evan cut herself off before she could call the other woman a hussy. Evan didn’t hate Lucille, she just thought that she spent too much time with Demetri and it was getting on her nerves. 

"Calm down. What's wrong with Luci? She's a friend and when you..." He'd almost said 'when you hurt me', but stopped himself. "She was there when you didn't want to be."

"It would have been polite. And I bet Josh would have love to have gone. I’m never interested in art. Don’t take it personally."

"Josh wouldn't have left his brother behind. He has bonds and ties here, like family. As far as I've been told, I don't. And don't worry, it's been a long time since I took anything from you personally."

"I don’t know what to think. I wouldn’t want to jump to conclusions.” Evan was being rather snarky about it.

"That doesn't really make me feel any better, Damian."

"That sounds like a disease."

I bear the wounds of all the battles I avoided.
