I love how they are each other’s flavor of toxic. We aren’t even really dating but you presented me a locking necklace and I instead of being horrified was in love with it. Delicious. I’m going to act as if I’m pining for your brother. You will only be mildly insecure about it.

“Come on, Ceres. Humor my attempts at respect.” “What word will make you comfortable, mas—”
I, like Mars, may spontaneously combust if that sentence gets finished. Here he is needlessly reigning in all his crazy to make sure he’s not scaring her and shes about to explode his heart.

“You mean it’s easier with us because there aren’t rules?”
Ah we are at the part of every Camilla Evergreen book when I get smacked in the face by my neurodivergent feels. The unspoken rules most everyone seems to know and obey that makes people mad when you don’t. Never heard of them, nope not me.

Why doesn’t my partner dreamily sigh over how nuts I am and how much he loves it? I’m about to start specifically requesting that please.

I live Ceres gaslighting Mars so much. How else should you respond to someone barging into your house, using all of your eggs, and making your bread into toast? Never mind that he’s making sure you eat. Be mean to him. I like how pathetic he gets. It’s adorable.

“Maybe I should move back into the city,” I murmur. Mars’s eyes snap off the flames. “Because of me?” No, not even a little bit. I stare at him, then poke the bundle of nerves that seems to make him up. “Yes.”
I love you Ceres, be mean to him more please.

Oh I love how unhinged they are acting so far. I know Ceres says she mirrors people but she keeps giving Mars the funniest answers in response to his red flags.

“The thing is,” I hedge, then rip the bandaid off. “You’re in love with me too.”
Absolutely screaming. I love oblivious in love men. I wanna squish him.

Jove’s letter is even better O M G
But suuuure, yeah he’s totally not in love with her, I buy that. Let me just reread this letter that made my teeth ache with its sweetness a few more times to convince me.

*Incoherent squealing noises*
Yes realize you basically have always written him love letters then that you’re in love with him please and thank you!!

Oh my gosh I love Jove. The shoes scene at the go kart place has truly brought me joy. And the necklaces!
“I was young. Stupid. Didn’t have any brain cells rattling around in my skull. I’m older now. Much wiser. Would never suggest something so moronic as free will when it comes to our friendship.”
“You’re really dedicated to this red flag thing, huh?”
I laughed out loud!
