“Just what the hell is your problem, asshole?” Griff snarls as he advances on Dozer

I ju to the floor, and put ht in Griff’s path before he can reach my friend When I put my hands on his chest, I feel the ot a very nice chest

“My probleirl on Acted all interested in her, appealed to her girlie sensibilities so she’d invite you into her life—”

“Okay, now just wait afroirlie sensibilities”

“He used you—”

I cut Dozer off with a hand to his chest, openinghimself
