Alastair ’s Reviews > Boyfriend Material > Status Update

I stood at the sink and did that thing people do in movies where they brace themselves on the counter and stare meaningfully at their reflection. Turns out, it didn’t help. It was just a dick, looking at a dick, asking why he was always such a dick.

“Oh.” Sometimes, you can half believe you’ve been hurt so much you’ve basically been vaccinated. Rendered immune. And then someone says something like that to you.

😭😭😭

“But you’re cheerfully going to sit there and watch me chow down on bits of dead animal like some kind of creepy carni-voyeur?”

“Don’t worry. Plenty more options.” A pause. “Just give me a moment while I think of them.”

Oh hello, rock bottom. Nice to see you again. Do you want to be my boyfriend?
