    Summary

    Then Ravi breathed out again, that little sarcastic smile on his face, the one she loved so, so much. The smile she’d called after she’d bashed Jason Bell’s skull in nine times with a hammer. Overkill. They’d overkilled, together.
    “Marry me, Pip.”

     

    (In which Pip says yes.)

    Summary

    Tyler, I say, breaking the lazy silence. Can I ask you a question?

    Tyler scoffs. He doesn’t open his eyes, but the tiniest hint of a smile has manifested on his lips. “Sure, Ikea boy.”

    I reach down, running my fingers through his hair. He still doesn’t look at me, so I ask, If we met on the plane the night my condo blew up, how did you know to blow it up?

    Tyler finally opens his eyes. He looks directly at me, eyes shining the way they do when I’ve said something that excites him.

    Dennis Whitaker and Frank Langdon are seemingly people who run with different crowds and were willing to be just normal coworkers. But after getting trapped in an elevator and learning about their shared past, the two feel a natural pull. When the pull gets to be too much they wonder, "can people with exposed nerves really pull of a no strings relationship?"

    Summary

    I’m rapidly coming to the realization that I don’t like fighting anyone other than Tyler. I’m putting words to what used to be an abstract string pull in my gut, telling me that what I’m doing isn’t really what I think I’m doing. This isn’t about the thrill of the scuffle, the catharsis I am experiencing is simply a watered down, repackaged dupe of the real deal. I am seeking a blow to my cheek that leaves me reeling so hard my body has no choice but to conjure up tears. There is a butterfly light thrill that shoots up my spine when Tyler twists his torso under mine and forces me off my feet with his entire body weight.

    These are dwindling highs. I need a higher dose every time, and there’s only so many ways to make lingering, full body contact as we try to beat each other into the floor. Fighting Tyler is losing its zeal, and I have no interest in any of the other idiots who crowd the basement every Saturday night.
