DESPITE HER desire to be cold and aloof, she wasn’t very good at that. carina had always been the woman who felt things so intensely, whether that was love, hate, happiness, anger... whatever she felt, she always felt it with every fiber of her being. so even if she tried to be cold towards elijah or at best, cordial, she found herself slipping. she clenched her jaw at his words and she held her head high. “everything is fine,” she forced herself to say, in as light and breezy of a tone as possible. she wasn’t okay. everything wasn’t fine. but she would be damned if she let her stupid feelings get in the way. he was getting married and she had to accept that, and learn to live with it. “i’m just a little tired, that’s all,” she added to try and make the lie more convincing. “but i’ll be fine. i swear.”

“who the hell invited you to this?” being even in the same room as him made evie feel uneasy. her parents were miles away and yet she felt their presence in her head as she stood there.

#32: raise hell by brandi carlile. "you have a mind to keep me quiet and although you can try,” scout was staring at her hands, knowing now that maybe the bloodshed wasn’t worth the trouble. not when it came to people she cared about. but she couldn’t stop, she wouldn’t. not until every bad man was gone. “better men have hit their knees, and bigger men have died.” as much as she cared about the person in front of her, scout knew that they couldn’t hold her back. “you can either try to stop me, or ignore what me and let me do what i need to do.”

it's time for my monthly remembering that the Reply All podcast did a 5 part series on how the Bon Appetit Test Kitchen was racist and anti-worker and after part 2 aired Reply All / Gimlet Media workers came out to say that the company was racist and anti-worker, causing one of the hosts to resign and the podcast to end after 8 years

call the impulsive decision a little insane, but as luc crossed the room with enough drinks in him to create a comfortable buzz, he’d already made up his mind. watching them awkwardly try to reject someone for fifteen minutes on and off was more than enough time for him to step in, he figured. of course, as he approached, his plan for what to say went out the window. “hey, baby, where’ve you been?” the grin on his face and his eyebrows shooting up swiftly were meant to signal to play along, but nothing probably could have prepared them for him swooping in with a kiss, his head tilting to deepen it as he cradled the back of their head.
