Mazzie: Best do it quick, before–someone else comes knocking.

Mazzie: ‘Oh, and keep your dick in your pants. She’s hot, I get it, but use your other head.”

Carter: I wouldn’t touch her with a ten–foot pole right now, not after what she’s been through. Rest assured, I’m

maintaining my gentlemanly status. Not that I’m not struggling.

Mazzie: That bad?

Carter: Yeah, that’s why it’s important you keep an eye out for her when I can’t be here.

chest to get up.

“Holy shit! I’m sorry,” she said, stumbling to her feet. I sat up with a shrug as she looked at me, stunned.
