Quotes by J.P. Joseph (?)

“I’m not great with words, but the way you’ve bulldozed into my life and through some of my walls... it’s changed me, Chance. For the better.”
― J.P. Joseph, King of Pain

1 likes

“But it’s the eyes. Not only are they a gorgeous light hazel that contrasts perfectly with his skin tone and dark hair, but they’re also full of mystery, depth, and something darker I haven’t quite pinpointed yet. Pain, maybe?”
― J.P. Joseph, King of Pain

“He intrigues me in ways I don’t fully understand. He isn’t just shy; he carries himself like someone with walls a mile high. Walls built out of necessity, not choice. There’s a heaviness to him, a guarded edge, as though he’s seen things most people haven’t and doesn’t know how to let go of them.”
― J.P. Joseph, King of Pain
