And I’ant to think that maybe the probleot to at least be a fifty percent h time to cultivate real relationships beyond the first lay, but Akara has the sa out on dates I’ht

But I’m not that shocked Akara called it quits with Jenny He’s the kind of guy that hates to end things theafter, but Sulli saw Jenny

And Akara Kitsuwon is in love with Sullivan Meadows He just hasn’t fully accepted what’s right in front of his face yet

The past few ht to myself: Banks Roscoe Moretti, you old fool, why don’t you play cupid and put these two duether? I’ve played Mother Goose toXander Hale—my little chickadee

Playing cupid can’t be that hard

Except Akara hasn’t just dug in his heels He’s ce core of the Earth The more I try to chisel hioddess of a woh-as-nails Sullivan Meadows And I wonder what the hell I’

No one ever warned cupid of accidentally shooting hiood with a bow, anyway Should’ve seen this clusterfuck co

I love him too much to ever fuck him over

And Sulli—she deserves to be swept off her feet Probably by Akara He’s driven like her He has money A business

He can offer her more than I can

“Better question is why you were flirting with her in the Jeep”

He adjusts his earpiece “I wasn’t”

“That’s horseshit,” I whisper back, our eyes never leaving Sulli “You threw a dirty sock at her”
