Status Updates From The Fireman and the Flirt (...

“And apparently, there’s a bunch of gay teachers in the high school. Like an abnormally high amount.”

*cackles* Like, enough to write an entire series of romance novels about.

Great, now my winter sports loving ass had to go off and watch Adam Rippon and Gus Kenworthy hanging out together. Ugh, gay athletes just warm the cockles of my gaddamn heart. Also, Gus is a filthy bastard for picking up jumps on the ice that fast.

“You don’t see it?” Jolene asked. “You have to find the North Star. It’s the brightest star in the sky.”

Leo: I got some time between meetings. Want to meet at my office?
Derek: Sure. Where is it?
Leo: City Hall, motherfucker!

Okay, I really need to know what happened to that letter.
