James is such a badass. He’s not a regular priest; he’s a cool priest!

I cannot handle another side character death omfg I canNOT. . .

If the slow burn was any slower, I would’ve been big mad. Finally. Yay for the payoff!

Idk how C & D are going to stay alive and have a HEA in NYC. I’m just imagining them on the run forever like omg.

And right on the next page Carmine says he needs Danny and kisses him BOOOOYYYYY the underboss is a romantic!!!! Swoon!

“Thank you. For not leaving us out there.”
“I would never.” Carmine carefully stroked his hair. STAAAAPHPVKXJ TOO CUTE.

That kissssss omg. And the kisses afterward. Passionate!

I wonder who’s gonna make the first move. Because at this point, they’re both fighting their feelings and playing it off like BOY PLS u wanna kiss kiss kisssss.

“Carmine wondered if this finely-aged brandy would taste better on Danny’s tongue” scrEAMING!!!!!!!!

It’s getting gooood. Carmine pining for Danny, Danny oblivious and pining back. Tension.
