If she did love him, surely she'd stay close as she could, right? And wait for him to admit he cared for her?

Says the guy who panted after her for four years and then ditched her the minute she said I Love You?

Besides, she had a new son to take care of.

How in the hell did she get temporary custody of a kid from CPS within one week? She has no experience of her own with any children, nor is she a relative of the kid's, so there's no reason custody would've be expedited.

Am I supposed to find it cute that he not only stalked her to her workplace (after finding out where she lives, btw), but then he "orchestrated taking George to see Dr. Hamilton so that he could see her again"...? Because I don't. That's not cute.

Wait...weren't we just told that he had a splinter in his hand? And now they're foreplaying it and sexing it up? Uh...I hope he took that splinter out...at least for her sake...especially with where his fingers are going now.

I’ve become a caveman, feeding my woman and taking care of her.



"My" woman?? Ugh. He spoke to her for the first time like three or four days ago...and they've kissed like once.

Oh, and let's not forget that, even with a broken wrist, she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself.

Yes, he’d been out with women, as in, met them in bars and accepted invitations to follow them home, but he’d never actually taken a woman out and bought her dinner.

Except being at her house and telling her you took the liberty of ordering pizza isn't the same as taking someone out for dinner???

The cookies were still hot from the oven. Matt broke one open, and the molten chocolate looped down over his thumb.

It's really annoying me that this guy's a carpenter but never washes his hands before eating...even when eating foods like sandwiches and cookies.

Gina smiled and looked pointedly at the precisely piled wood. Nothing was thrown or ripped. It had all been dismantled as gently as possible. “You treat that staircase as if you were undressing a woman.”

Who even makes a comparison like that???

“When I was a child,” she told him, “I had leukemia. ... It was after I broke a bone that we found out I had the cancer.”
Matt frowned fiercely. “So, could this mean your illness is coming back?” he demanded.



Wait...what? How did he...huh? Is this guy really asking if her leukemia is coming back because she broke her wrist...? Is he really this stupid????
