Joycee’s Reviews > Kissing Comfort > Status Update

He smiled his guarded, secretive smile and touched it to Comfort’s hair again. It was her smile anyway, the one she owned because she knew how to ease it out of him.

He’s always at his most sincere when he’s lying through his teeth.

We’ve got so many rooms that if I don’t visit them once a month, I forget they’re there.

And yes, Comfort confirmed she was 16 at her coming out party. So they are 7 years apart in age.

Romantic. The collision of passion and recklessness.

The crew is fearful the mechanics of the steam plant will fail them. When nature denies them good wind or calm seas, they might curse the heavens, but they accept it. When a fly wheel fails to turn or a boiler ruptures, they want to find the inventor and flay him alive.

Ridiculous ideas can always be put to the side, but not entertaining them is reckless. Sometimes they’re the genesis of a better idea.

It’s only difficult if you decide it is. Decide that it’s not.

The seven years’ difference in their ages …

(So I did calculate correctly before …)

(Previously, I thought Bode was 5 years older than Comfort. He was 23 during her coming out party … which I thought would have been at 18. But come-outs are at 16? So a sweet 16?)
