If anything, its more about trying to avoid thinking about the state of the world. and the whole miscommunication at the end was very unnecessary it only lasted for like 2 chapters though so it was fine ig lol

We’ve grown up with the same privilege and expectations. We know what’s expected. What it takes to thrive in this world, not just survive. Crew doesn’t stop walking until he reaches the edge of our booth. He crowds the space like he has every right to be here. Evan glances up at him mid-sentence, clearly confused by what is happening. There’s a long pause where everyone is silent.

Crew straightens with a self-satisfied smirk that makes me pray a punch will mess up his perfect bone structure. If not for me, on behalf of average-looking men everywhere. That sort of symmetry is an unfair standard to be held to. I thought Evan was attractive…until I saw him next to the table’s uninvited guest. For my family, the closest economic equivalent is the Kensingtons. It’s an arrangement advantageous to both sides, which is unique. Usually, one party gains more than the other.

Both powerful in their own right (although Scarlett’s a little more richer!), the question of who will secede control first leads to a combustible battle for trust, intimacy, and well… love. She’s not even that pretty. I’ve never seen her smile or flirt—ever. At the Waldorfs’ holiday party, she spent the whole evening talking business.

Instead, it challenges everything Scarlett and Crew thought they knew about themselves, their families, and most of all…each other. --- My whole body tenses. Preparing for what, I don’t know. We’ve swerved so far off script I can’t remember what our lines are. I’m surprised he’s here. He hasn’t been coming out much. Kensington Consolidated just bought that new electronics company.
