Status Updates From The Love-Child

lets read some bullshitttttt

"She smiled. 'May I come to bed?' The words were whispered playfully, in deference to the game of male domination that she had been following'" (136-137). Why did you need to add in male there, Kathryn Ross? Just in case we'd forgotten how masculine Pearce is? Or to distinguish it from the game of female domination (I choose to believe this option)?

"'Although I have to say that unnoticed that the passion that flared when our lips met wasn't entirely one-sided'" (92). This is totally how people talk. Don't give me that look, self. (It is not)

"His eyes moved over her from her shoes right the way over her body, studying her intently with a blatantly male interest" (22). Right the way over, guv'nor!

"'Au secours, ça suffit!' He spoke in deep rapid French" (12) what...what is deep rapid French? Is it French that's learned to move quickly because it's been under deep cover? ESPIONAGE French??

"Cathy's business-like thoughts disintegrated as her gaze met with flint-like sapphire blue eyes" (10). I always thought flinty referred to gray eyes, since flint is often, y'know, gray. But apparently not? Maybe it means his eyes are good for lighting fires heyooo
