Whyyyyy Phoenix, why!?!?!???

“The praise lands. My spine goes a little straighter before I can stop it. God, I hate that part of me still reaches for Conrad’s approval like a plant reaching for the sun through a cracked window..…I’ll burn the next time the ground shifts under my feet and I have to choose who I am.”

This is told from Storm’s POV but sounds more like Phoenix….

Yes boys, that was handled so well 👏👏

I think the parents are in on all of this. The drugs, the cosmetics, the pressure on Phoenix; and something is going to happen if she goes away. I don’t like it one bit 😖😣

I don’t like that the mob boss is using the nicknames the boys have for her. It irks me.

Ohhh I like that Con’s thinking is changing (finally)

Loved that scene with Maverick. Getting his POV and then hers through out gave really good perspective. I’m glad he also got to talk it out and gave time with her alone. Now it’s time for Con and Phoenix to talk and Phoenix and Atticus to spend some time together. I do love that they are finally working together as well, especially with everything going crazy

So I thought the mob she owes money to stole the drugs from the Blackvine Syndicate, but now it sounds like they are the syndicate? I’m not even sure what they want anymore. They didn’t want money when Con tried to pay for her so….

It’s time for Con and Phoenix to have a conversation and get over the hate. It’s exhausting.

Aww that memory of Mav and Phoenix is so cute
