“She could have a hundred partners for all I care, just as long as they’ve been vetted for psychopathic tendencies. I have four rules. One: don’t invite a person into your body if you wouldn’t invite her into your kitchen. Two: the act needs to take place in a clean environment. Three: precautions need to be taken.

Cletus story is gonna be interesting

“Every step of the way I’d been scolded for being happy with myself. How dare I be happy with who I am, my size, the color of my skin, that I can make both men and women laugh. So you think I’m going to let you or anyone else make me feel ashamed about Jethro?”

“Then make it rain blueberries,” Roscoe teased.
This family 🤣

“Don’t clutch your pearls at me, big brother. Look at her, for hootenanny’s sake. She’s got the hots for your ugly face, Lord help her. And I know you’ve been thinking about her, judging by how long you took in the bathroom this morning.”
"He’s right and he’s wrong. I do have the hots for your face, but it isn’t at all ugly.”
At this Cletus snorted and grumbled, “Well, it ain’t pretty.”

Cletus is the best

Already on the edge of my seat for Billy and Claire book
