The Ruinous Love Trilogy, Book Three - Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver

1
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,880
So this book feels like the most opportune moment to

2
00:00:14,380 --> 00:00:16,160
talk about your superpower.

3
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,800
We're gonna open with it. We're gonna open with that thing because

4
00:00:22,300 --> 00:00:24,640
it affected how you liked this book so much.

5
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:29,110
Okay. You and I have already talked about this. Yeah. So should I

6
00:00:29,610 --> 00:00:32,510
just, like, explain it the way I explained it to Brooke yesterday? Yeah,

7
00:00:33,230 --> 00:00:37,390
I could explain it, too. Okay. You can smell. People want you

8
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:40,830
to explain it because you explain it terribly. I get everybody riled up,

9
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:44,510
though, and then they agree with me. Yeah, you always get everybody riled up about

10
00:00:45,010 --> 00:00:47,870
me, and they always agree with you, and I'm always the bad guy.

11
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:51,830
I get there first. I fucking. Because I don't. I am

12
00:00:52,330 --> 00:00:56,460
not as evil as you. My brain isn't 16 steps ahead trying

13
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,340
to get everybody against somebody. Yeah. I would never do

14
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,220
that to you. So I just want you to remember. That you did tell a

15
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,500
guy yesterday, though, that he has gray hair and he should dye it. I did

16
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,660
do that. You did do that. I was being. The thing is, is I was

17
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,940
being. Nice and fair to be. Did he need

18
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:18,700
to know? I told.

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,910
I also told him that he was. Handsome as an afterthought. She did, on another

20
00:01:23,410 --> 00:01:26,910
occasion, tell a different man that he needed a haircut. He did need a haircut,

21
00:01:27,410 --> 00:01:31,110
and he went and got a haircut the next day. So they

22
00:01:31,610 --> 00:01:34,910
are welcome. You are only terrorizing men, which I'm all for.

23
00:01:34,990 --> 00:01:38,790
Yes, that's very true. I immediately walked out of that office and

24
00:01:39,290 --> 00:01:42,590
walked over to Brooke and said, isn't Brooke's hair so pretty? Yeah.

25
00:01:42,990 --> 00:01:46,110
I just think that women need to be built up, and men need to be

26
00:01:46,610 --> 00:01:49,070
told that they are subpar. Agreed.

27
00:01:49,630 --> 00:01:52,910
So great. I don't have any shame.

28
00:01:53,070 --> 00:01:56,230
I told our manager today that his shirt was dirty, and I don't know why

29
00:01:56,730 --> 00:01:59,430
he keeps wearing it. I heard you say that he has a stain. It's like

30
00:01:59,930 --> 00:02:02,590
a permanent stain right here. You were like, don't you wash your shirt?

31
00:02:06,750 --> 00:02:09,470
I've had stains that you can't get out. And if it's one of your favorite

32
00:02:09,970 --> 00:02:13,830
things, I. I don't know that I'd wear it again. But, yeah, he made

33
00:02:14,330 --> 00:02:16,830
that decision. Yeah. He looked in the mirror. His wife let him out of the

34
00:02:17,330 --> 00:02:20,260
house. Yeah.

35
00:02:20,820 --> 00:02:23,700
Wow. Well, I'm wrong,

36
00:02:23,780 --> 00:02:27,140
and I'm sorry. You got a superpower, so. Yeah.

37
00:02:27,640 --> 00:02:32,220
Okay. So the way that this works is the

38
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,580
best thing that I can compare it to would be synesthesia, which is where

39
00:02:36,980 --> 00:02:40,340
when people hear music, they see colors,

40
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,980
or sometimes vice versa. And like, some. There are other variations of

41
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,050
it. Where, like, people will see, like, colors will be associated with specific letters

42
00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:51,770
or numbers. But for me, very unfortunately,

43
00:02:52,330 --> 00:02:55,730
my thing is smell. So when

44
00:02:56,230 --> 00:02:59,530
I look at something or I picture something,

45
00:02:59,770 --> 00:03:02,330
I can smell it, but not like,

46
00:03:04,410 --> 00:03:08,010
don't look at me, Paige. Don't look at me. But not like,

47
00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:11,270
oh, I know what it smells like. It's like, I can smell. Smell it.

48
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:15,110
Like I'm sitting next to it. It's. And they have

49
00:03:15,610 --> 00:03:19,350
a distinct smell, and it's very distinct. Yes. And for

50
00:03:19,850 --> 00:03:23,150
whatever reason, the most common way

51
00:03:23,650 --> 00:03:26,830
that that presents itself is for people.

52
00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:31,390
So I have a list of stinky celebrities that I.

53
00:03:31,890 --> 00:03:34,830
Including Katy Perry. Including Katy Perry,

54
00:03:35,470 --> 00:03:39,010
Mark Wahlberg, Haley Steinfeld.

55
00:03:41,090 --> 00:03:44,770
Those are some of the stinkiest. She's literally gagging.

56
00:03:45,490 --> 00:03:50,370
Mark Wahlberg smells bad. I can't even handle is.

57
00:03:51,010 --> 00:03:54,290
But people say he smells delicious. Like,

58
00:03:54,790 --> 00:03:58,450
he looks like a clean guy. Like, he showers. And Mark Wahlberg

59
00:03:58,950 --> 00:04:02,490
can fucking get it. I would get that. And then I would tell you how

60
00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:06,510
delicious he smells. I don't want to talk about it anymore. We should

61
00:04:07,010 --> 00:04:10,670
have been videotaping this. Smells so bad. Your reactions.

62
00:04:11,070 --> 00:04:14,430
Awful. So the long and the short of it is that,

63
00:04:14,510 --> 00:04:18,350
yeah, originally, for whatever reason, I had pictured

64
00:04:18,850 --> 00:04:22,190
Rose in my mind as like, a little old circus

65
00:04:22,690 --> 00:04:26,670
lady. I know that she's not. I know that she's young and that she's beautiful,

66
00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:31,070
but she is just like Sibby

67
00:04:31,570 --> 00:04:35,790
in haunting Adeline. She is like a little weathered

68
00:04:36,350 --> 00:04:39,630
circus lady doing tyrants. Ridiculous, right?

69
00:04:40,110 --> 00:04:43,790
And so while I was reading this book, obviously she got younger and younger

70
00:04:44,290 --> 00:04:47,590
and younger. Like, the deeper that we got into the book and the

71
00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:51,150
younger she got, the stinkier she got. It's so weird.

72
00:04:51,870 --> 00:04:55,070
And I just think, like, Bur and Theon smells so bad,

73
00:04:56,050 --> 00:04:59,570
and I just don't like either of them. And they even talk about her

74
00:05:00,070 --> 00:05:03,410
bathing. I know he talks about how she

75
00:05:03,910 --> 00:05:06,690
smells good or like, he likes the way that she smells.

76
00:05:07,570 --> 00:05:10,770
So Amanda, because of that, hated this book.

77
00:05:11,090 --> 00:05:14,530
It. We have. That is not the only reason that I hated it. We'll get

78
00:05:15,030 --> 00:05:18,570
into it. We started this book in February when it first came out. I read

79
00:05:19,070 --> 00:05:21,730
it immediately. Yeah. Amanda finished it this weekend.

80
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:26,240
Yeah. Four months. And I couldn't read anything else

81
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:30,760
because I had so much guilt about not finishing this book. So I have

82
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,280
basically read nothing since February.

83
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,440
I was so depressed. Yeah. I. We couldn't even record. Even though

84
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:41,880
I told you, like, once a week that it was okay.

85
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,920
Yeah. And you didn't have to feel guilty. Yeah.

86
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,160
Shoot. Shoot. Well, I finished it now.

87
00:05:49,580 --> 00:05:52,740
Yeah. The second half of it is excellent. Yeah. I would rate the second half

88
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,980
different than I would rate the first half. Is that an option in our rating

89
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,060
scale? There is not, but that's something we could talk about.

90
00:06:00,140 --> 00:06:03,020
Okay, should we just jump right into it then?

91
00:06:03,260 --> 00:06:06,980
Yeah, should we? Let's do it. I'm so excited. All right. It's been so

92
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,060
long. Whether you're a new listener or a returning one, we want

93
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,420
to quickly thank you for being here with us and for listening

94
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,020
to and supporting our smutty little podcast.

95
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,400
We're so excited to pick up where we left off, but before we do,

96
00:06:23,900 --> 00:06:27,600
we have to make an announcement. While on hiatus,

97
00:06:28,100 --> 00:06:32,000
Nicole and I talked a lot about the future of the podcast and kind

98
00:06:32,500 --> 00:06:36,040
of what direction we wanted it to go and kind of

99
00:06:36,540 --> 00:06:40,040
the sustainability of it. And I think we,

100
00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:44,480
in our conversations, really continuously

101
00:06:44,980 --> 00:06:48,710
came back to the core and the origins of

102
00:06:49,210 --> 00:06:52,830
who we are and why we started recording our conversations to

103
00:06:53,330 --> 00:06:56,990
begin with. Because the conversations that Nicole and I record for the

104
00:06:57,490 --> 00:07:01,110
podcast are the conversations that we are having in real life, in real time.

105
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:06,390
And we have been reading these types of books for years

106
00:07:06,870 --> 00:07:10,670
and didn't start really talking about them to

107
00:07:11,170 --> 00:07:14,630
the degree that we do now until we started talking to each other.

108
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:19,720
And honestly, our conversations really

109
00:07:20,220 --> 00:07:23,480
kind of spun themselves into their own entity.

110
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,000
You know, we ended up starting a book club with women who

111
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,320
we love and adore, and our community

112
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,440
of friends really started to expand.

113
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,320
And I think that in looking at that and looking

114
00:07:39,820 --> 00:07:43,570
at how eclectic the

115
00:07:44,070 --> 00:07:47,530
readers of these books are, I think it really put into perspective

116
00:07:48,030 --> 00:07:51,930
for us, like, what we love about having the conversations,

117
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:56,010
and also what we wanted to accomplish when starting the podcast. And what

118
00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:59,650
it really comes down to is that we wanna normalize having these conversations.

119
00:07:59,810 --> 00:08:04,050
We want to normalize talking about these materials.

120
00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:07,970
We want to normalize disagreeing about the materials,

121
00:08:08,470 --> 00:08:11,860
because inasmuch as it is okay to. To like something and be passionate about something

122
00:08:12,340 --> 00:08:16,580
that is taboo, it's also okay to disagree on

123
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,660
the things that you like. We as women, don't need any additional pressure

124
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:24,140
to try things that we are not a hundred percent

125
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,420
excited about. And when we do our podcast, we want our listeners to feel very

126
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,780
much as if you are part of the conversation with us and you are entitled

127
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,700
to disagree with us. And we want to make that as

128
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,220
accessible as possible. And so as we sort of considered this

129
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,940
very eclectic group of listeners, we have listeners from all

130
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,500
over the world, we kind of came

131
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,260
to the conclusion that although Books Luts is who we are,

132
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,180
and we have absolutely no shame about that, we also

133
00:08:58,260 --> 00:09:01,980
respect that a name like that could be a

134
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,230
barrier to entry for some like listeners. We considered where people may

135
00:09:06,730 --> 00:09:10,630
be listening in their cars with smart screens or maybe at

136
00:09:11,130 --> 00:09:14,910
work with a preview on their phone. And we

137
00:09:15,410 --> 00:09:18,870
considered how it may feel telling a new friend about the

138
00:09:19,370 --> 00:09:23,030
podcast that you listen to. And again, we picked that name with

139
00:09:23,530 --> 00:09:26,870
our full chest and we will always identify as book Sluts.

140
00:09:27,370 --> 00:09:30,990
But taking all of that into consideration, we have decided to

141
00:09:31,490 --> 00:09:35,270
update our name. Nothing else about us is changing. We realize that

142
00:09:35,770 --> 00:09:39,030
we're not going to make everybody happy with the change, but we hope that you

143
00:09:39,530 --> 00:09:42,710
can come along with us and continue to be wonderful, loyal friends and listeners throughout

144
00:09:43,210 --> 00:09:46,750
the rebrand. Choosing Bookslets was a very humbling

145
00:09:47,250 --> 00:09:50,470
experience for us because we truly thought that that was

146
00:09:50,970 --> 00:09:54,150
an original name. Like, we went into it, we were like, oh my God,

147
00:09:54,650 --> 00:09:57,750
we're so, we're so cheeky and cute. And after getting started,

148
00:09:58,250 --> 00:10:01,650
we realized like, wow, there's a lot of other booklets.

149
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:05,690
And we, you know, also don't want to be encroaching on anyone

150
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:09,530
else's branding. And I think with the name change,

151
00:10:09,770 --> 00:10:13,130
it'll also make us easier for new listeners to

152
00:10:13,630 --> 00:10:17,130
find. So with that, the long awaited moment has come.

153
00:10:17,370 --> 00:10:20,810
I'm Amanda. I'm Nicole. And we're Plot Tarts.

154
00:10:20,970 --> 00:10:24,970
We read, recap and review some muddy books. Let us help you decide

155
00:10:25,470 --> 00:10:28,690
if this book should stay on your tbr. What are we

156
00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:32,530
reading today? We are reading Scythe and Sparrow by Brynn

157
00:10:33,030 --> 00:10:36,250
Weaver. There are other reasons that I didn't. Like it, so we'll

158
00:10:36,750 --> 00:10:40,970
get there. Yeah. Content and trigger warnings. Eyeballs again. Also eyelids.

159
00:10:41,689 --> 00:10:44,890
I'm not sure as I really ruin

160
00:10:45,130 --> 00:10:49,130
cotton candy as much as maybe just defile it. Possibly sausages

161
00:10:49,630 --> 00:10:52,490
and or hot dogs. Ill advised use of staple guns.

162
00:10:53,330 --> 00:10:56,850
Are drug addicted raccoons a trigger debate? Clowns.

163
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:59,970
Sexy clowns. Medical trauma, including serious injury.

164
00:11:00,210 --> 00:11:03,170
Ambulances. Open fractures, punction wounds, blood loss.

165
00:11:03,570 --> 00:11:06,370
Hospital surgical recovery. Impaling.

166
00:11:06,610 --> 00:11:11,090
Not the sexy kind, but that too. References to

167
00:11:11,330 --> 00:11:15,330
domestic physical abuse not depicted. Injured dog. But if

168
00:11:15,830 --> 00:11:19,180
you've read leather and Lark, you already know Bentley will be fine. Parental neglect,

169
00:11:19,260 --> 00:11:23,420
child abuse not depicted. Numerous weapons and sharp objects. Detailed sex

170
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,020
scenes which include but are not limited to adult toys. Primal kink.

171
00:11:27,180 --> 00:11:29,980
Come kink. Anal, rough sex. Sexual acts in public.

172
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:34,380
Explicit and colorful language including a lot of blasphemy.

173
00:11:34,780 --> 00:11:37,420
There is a lot of injury and death. It's a book about a doctor and

174
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,460
a serial killer falling in love. So I feel like that's probably a given.

175
00:11:41,580 --> 00:11:45,000
And the dedication in this book is A continuation

176
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:48,400
of the previous two dedications. For those of you who read B and B and

177
00:11:48,900 --> 00:11:51,920
L and hell and said hell, I've already endured the ice cream and pizza.

178
00:11:52,420 --> 00:11:55,520
I might as well keep going. You truly are my people. This one's for you.

179
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,600
The trigger warnings are just. They're too much in this book. They are. Yeah,

180
00:12:00,100 --> 00:12:03,720
they are way too much. This book was as fucking vanilla

181
00:12:04,220 --> 00:12:07,640
as it comes, in my opinion. Eyeballs I will give her because I even had

182
00:12:08,140 --> 00:12:11,600
to skip some of that. I don't actually even remember the eyeballs.

183
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:15,760
Oh my God. All right. And you told me about them.

184
00:12:15,980 --> 00:12:19,380
Sure, right. But to start off, I. I have

185
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,460
a quote. Oh my God. It's the first sentence in this book. Oh.

186
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,060
And it hooked me right away. So I don't even get how you didn't like

187
00:12:26,560 --> 00:12:30,100
it. Okay, what is it? I don't remember it. So forgettable. So it's

188
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,540
Rose. If you hit someone in the back of the head hard enough, you can

189
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,540
pop their eyeballs right out of their head. How are you

190
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,040
not into it? Because I was already just like done.

191
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,040
Okay, okay. All right. Well, I'll start your weekend.

192
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,320
Oh my God.

193
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,560
So she's doing the first half and then. Yeah, the second half. It's so good

194
00:12:53,060 --> 00:12:56,280
to be back, isn't it really? Yeah. We've barely talked about this book because we

195
00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:00,120
know. I have had no one to talk about this book since I

196
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:02,360
finished it the second week of February. What about Brooke?

197
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:05,960
Well, but we agree.

198
00:13:07,410 --> 00:13:10,930
Oh, so you wanted to fight your. Your point of view. Okay.

199
00:13:11,010 --> 00:13:14,050
Brooke loves this book too. Yeah. You want a politic about it?

200
00:13:14,290 --> 00:13:17,490
Okay. Yeah, yeah, I'm ready. Bring it on.

201
00:13:17,650 --> 00:13:20,770
I'm ready. All the notes. All right.

202
00:13:21,270 --> 00:13:24,810
Well, we open with Rose. She is a part of the Sylvaria circus

203
00:13:25,310 --> 00:13:28,450
and one of her acts at the circus is a tarot card tent.

204
00:13:29,010 --> 00:13:32,170
She is giving a tarot card reading to a woman whose husband stands in the

205
00:13:32,670 --> 00:13:36,460
corner and watches. Rose is excellent at reading people and

206
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:40,180
with the well used and tagged deck is able to read the customer and pull

207
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:44,140
cards that she feels are most appropriate for them. In this case,

208
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,780
she's pulling cards that encourage the woman to find her wings and flee her husband.

209
00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:52,020
It is a well used card, implying that she uses this card often.

210
00:13:52,660 --> 00:13:56,140
And at the end of the reading pays and her husband comes over and

211
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,910
steals the money back from Rose. She decides here that

212
00:14:00,410 --> 00:14:04,190
this man, Matt is his name, will be her next victim.

213
00:14:04,270 --> 00:14:08,190
Well, and she could tell already with Lucy sitting there cowering from her

214
00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:10,670
just. Piece of shit husband. Yeah.

215
00:14:12,510 --> 00:14:15,110
Yes. The Kids. Yeah, the kids. He. They came in to, like, want to go

216
00:14:15,610 --> 00:14:18,110
on rides. And she's like, oh, just a second. That he, like, bats him out.

217
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,470
Yeah. And then taking the back. Yeah,

218
00:14:22,030 --> 00:14:25,200
you motherfucker. Yeah. He kind

219
00:14:25,700 --> 00:14:28,520
of antagonizes Rose first and then takes the money.

220
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,360
Yeah. So I literally just wrote that. He says some stupid shit.

221
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,520
It was, I will get there.

222
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,600
Yeah. She finds out where he lives, confronts him

223
00:14:41,100 --> 00:14:44,760
outside of his house wearing her motorcycle helmet and attempts

224
00:14:45,260 --> 00:14:48,800
to use a metal bat on him. But he wrangles the

225
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:53,190
bat away from her and uses it on her. Her leg falling

226
00:14:53,690 --> 00:14:57,190
to the ground, her backpack breaks open, and the cocktail sticks that she had

227
00:14:57,690 --> 00:15:00,910
purchased to bring back for one of the circus folks fall out.

228
00:15:01,310 --> 00:15:04,590
He grabs a handful of three and uses them to

229
00:15:05,090 --> 00:15:09,150
stab the man in the eye before she flees. It's graphic.

230
00:15:09,470 --> 00:15:13,110
Just to, like, give some context, too. Rose does murder

231
00:15:13,610 --> 00:15:16,670
men. We find that out. She doesn't usually get up close and personal.

232
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,920
This is her first attempted killing, actually. Like,

233
00:15:21,420 --> 00:15:25,000
with a man there. Yeah. And she doesn't do. So hot. And that was the

234
00:15:25,500 --> 00:15:27,480
beginning of the end for me. My God.

235
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,520
I am not interested in you

236
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,120
fucking it up. You're murdering somebody. She doesn't even bring

237
00:15:36,620 --> 00:15:39,760
a fucking weapon. Yeah, that was. She like, finds a metal

238
00:15:40,260 --> 00:15:43,240
bat in their yard. What were you gonna do? She literally is like,

239
00:15:43,710 --> 00:15:46,830
parks her motorcycle at the end of their long

240
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:50,470
ass driveway and then just starts wandering up the

241
00:15:50,970 --> 00:15:53,910
driveway. Yeah, just walk in the open, middle of the day, and it's like,

242
00:15:54,410 --> 00:15:58,190
oh, bat. I'm gonna use this bat. No, she's an opportunist.

243
00:15:58,510 --> 00:16:02,350
Literally, just like it. The whole thing. Maybe this is just like

244
00:16:02,850 --> 00:16:07,310
me being disappointed and, like, not being able to get over it. Because in

245
00:16:07,810 --> 00:16:12,620
the first two books, I interpreted Rose as super strong,

246
00:16:13,260 --> 00:16:16,740
competent, capable. She's not. That doesn't

247
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,580
make her. This is. Only. We haven't even gotten

248
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:25,420
to the other ones yet. Which one of these murders does she execute successfully?

249
00:16:26,140 --> 00:16:28,700
Still competent. She just may not be capable.

250
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:32,700
She's. She's not a serial killer. Well, okay, she.

251
00:16:33,020 --> 00:16:36,790
But women poison. That's what women. Statistically, women poison.

252
00:16:37,190 --> 00:16:39,990
Okay. Like Lark and Sloan are.

253
00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:42,950
They're not the statistics. Rose is.

254
00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:46,470
She poisons men. Spoiler alert. And this one,

255
00:16:46,870 --> 00:16:49,750
it was like a spur of the moment thing. I don't know that she went

256
00:16:50,250 --> 00:16:53,030
there to kill him. That's not. I'm not in for it. Yeah. If I was,

257
00:16:53,530 --> 00:16:56,110
I think at one. Point he says to Fion, in for a penny, in for

258
00:16:56,610 --> 00:17:00,110
a pound. I'm not in for a Penny, babe, I'm not interested in learning

259
00:17:00,610 --> 00:17:03,150
about you fucking up murders, but if you were. Going to be a murderer,

260
00:17:03,650 --> 00:17:07,260
you would be like Lark. I would be like Lark. I would be like Rose.

261
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,100
Yeah. The thing is, is that you would be Rose and Pago would be fion

262
00:17:11,580 --> 00:17:15,140
having to come to the site to clean up the mess after

263
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,220
you it up. Yeah. Would you not? You definitely

264
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,060
would. Yeah, but I would. Poison. I see. I think

265
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,420
the thing that I really liked about Lark and Sloan is that

266
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,600
we really don't get them catching their killers for the

267
00:17:32,100 --> 00:17:35,040
most part. Right. They have their victims in their sights.

268
00:17:35,540 --> 00:17:38,640
They execute their murder flawlessly, and there's no

269
00:17:39,140 --> 00:17:42,520
risk of them being caught. And this book, the entire book is basically about her

270
00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:45,840
fumbling every single one of the murders and then them worrying about being caught.

271
00:17:46,340 --> 00:17:49,240
And I hate it. I'm just not for it. It's just not for me.

272
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,600
So now we've got that out there. We should have saved that for the end.

273
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,890
Do you want to give a physical description of Rose? Yes.

274
00:17:56,370 --> 00:17:59,170
Rose is 26. She has dark brown eyes,

275
00:17:59,570 --> 00:18:03,010
an angelic face, chocolate brown, wavy hair that's

276
00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:06,490
past her shoulders, and she has cute little bangs. Fringe.

277
00:18:06,990 --> 00:18:10,210
He calls them fringe. Well, cute. He's Irish. Yeah. I don't

278
00:18:10,710 --> 00:18:13,250
see her with wavy hair. I see it being more straight. Like, when I picture

279
00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:17,490
her, she has long black hair with big bangs.

280
00:18:17,890 --> 00:18:20,850
That's just me picturing her. That's not how she's described. Oh,

281
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:24,750
interesting. Yeah. See, I guess I don't have any input

282
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:27,750
on that at all because I was picturing her as a little lady, so.

283
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:31,990
Oh, my God. So it

284
00:18:32,490 --> 00:18:36,150
doesn't matter how authors describe main characters. You and I'll picture them however we

285
00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:39,510
want to. Pretty much. That's why I just really don't get into the descriptions.

286
00:18:40,010 --> 00:18:43,790
I'm kind of like, meh, A little general idea is probably good, and then

287
00:18:44,290 --> 00:18:46,910
good dialogue for the rest of the book. If they're not tall, just don't say

288
00:18:47,410 --> 00:18:50,360
their height. I'm not gonna read. Yeah.

289
00:18:50,860 --> 00:18:54,320
About. Dion was 5 6. You wouldn't read about him?

290
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,896
No. Would you read about him and pretend that he wasn't 5

291
00:18:57,944 --> 00:19:00,760
6, or would you just not read about him? I think as long as there

292
00:19:01,260 --> 00:19:04,199
weren't multiple references to his height, I think I could get past it. Like how

293
00:19:04,699 --> 00:19:07,200
he had to get up on his tiptoes to kiss his girlfriend? Yeah, sure.

294
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,320
Or like, needed help to reach something on the top shelf. As long as it

295
00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:14,340
didn't, like, constantly reference it. Fair. I don't have a Problem

296
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,940
with short kings. I love a short king,

297
00:19:18,260 --> 00:19:20,660
so. And a short queen, for that matter.

298
00:19:21,140 --> 00:19:23,220
All right. Well, now we meet Fion.

299
00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:27,700
He is returning home from a run when

300
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,220
the security system for the clinic that he works at as a doctor

301
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:35,620
alerts him to an intruder. He heads

302
00:19:36,120 --> 00:19:39,860
into the clinic, discover Rose, who has broken in and is

303
00:19:40,360 --> 00:19:43,690
lying bloody on the floor in one of the exam rooms. And her legs has

304
00:19:44,190 --> 00:19:47,730
been broken and the bone is sticking out of her leg. Just before

305
00:19:47,810 --> 00:19:50,530
she passes out, she says one word, help.

306
00:19:51,010 --> 00:19:54,330
And this sticks with Fion long after this

307
00:19:54,830 --> 00:19:58,050
encounter. I do feel like I need to add here that Fion

308
00:19:58,210 --> 00:20:00,450
gets this alert and then he goes,

309
00:20:01,730 --> 00:20:05,450
barbara. Yeah. And I thought that Barbara

310
00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:09,530
was his secretary. I had no idea

311
00:20:10,030 --> 00:20:12,850
what was going on. We don't know yet who Barbara is. Yeah. So I just

312
00:20:13,350 --> 00:20:15,510
feel like I need to include that in there because she comes up late later.

313
00:20:16,010 --> 00:20:18,710
I did write that. I also have a note here. Do you want to fight

314
00:20:19,210 --> 00:20:23,230
again? Yeah, a little bit. Let's do it. My note here is that this,

315
00:20:23,730 --> 00:20:27,030
everything Fiona's doing is a man being sweet, not whatever

316
00:20:27,530 --> 00:20:30,750
the fuck Lachlan did when he saved Lark.

317
00:20:32,110 --> 00:20:35,430
Because he literally, like, Fion says he can smell the pineapple on her.

318
00:20:35,930 --> 00:20:40,190
And he says, have you been drinking? And she says, fuck, no. Okay. When Lachlan

319
00:20:40,510 --> 00:20:44,690
interrogates Lark, and it's like thinking she's drunk and

320
00:20:45,190 --> 00:20:48,250
he's just being an asshole. But you were like, oh, it's intimate.

321
00:20:49,050 --> 00:20:52,410
And it wasn't this, yeah, being sweet.

322
00:20:53,210 --> 00:20:57,330
This man, this is giving, detached doctor going

323
00:20:57,830 --> 00:21:01,690
through the motions. I really have a hard time understanding how you're thinking

324
00:21:02,190 --> 00:21:05,970
this is sweet. When he literally does nothing. And this

325
00:21:06,470 --> 00:21:10,250
is not. I have a note about it later. It's not like he's talking

326
00:21:10,750 --> 00:21:13,810
to Rose. He's always talking around Rose or

327
00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:18,010
through Rose. He's very rarely actually talking to

328
00:21:18,510 --> 00:21:21,810
Rose. He says at one point in time that they don't do anything. They don't

329
00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:25,450
speak to each other. And he just stands outside of her room wishing that he

330
00:21:25,950 --> 00:21:29,210
could go into her room. He says it multiple times about how

331
00:21:29,710 --> 00:21:33,010
they just exist around each other, creepily standing in

332
00:21:33,510 --> 00:21:36,880
the corner, staring at her while she reads her tarot and makes waffles with bacon.

333
00:21:37,380 --> 00:21:40,680
And it's like, sir, could you say something to her? Talk to her,

334
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,720
engage with her in any way, shape or form. Know what I like? Maybe?

335
00:21:45,220 --> 00:21:48,640
Yeah. I like men fawning over me. Even though Dave

336
00:21:49,140 --> 00:21:51,560
will tell you when he looks at me, because he'll just sit there and stare

337
00:21:52,060 --> 00:21:55,520
at me. And I always yell at him. Yeah, don't look at me.

338
00:21:56,020 --> 00:21:59,080
Yeah, love me looking that way. Love me, but leave me alone. Yeah,

339
00:21:59,950 --> 00:22:03,350
but I love it when Fion does it. And it is funny how two people

340
00:22:03,850 --> 00:22:07,710
can interpret a book and small gestures so differently. Oh,

341
00:22:08,210 --> 00:22:12,110
yeah, for sure. I guess my experience with Fion

342
00:22:13,070 --> 00:22:16,950
just really through the most of the first half of the book is that he

343
00:22:17,450 --> 00:22:20,630
is very like, I'm a doctor and

344
00:22:21,130 --> 00:22:24,750
she's my patient, and I'm not going to cross over that line. And it all

345
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:28,460
is just giving. Very detached and I just don't like.

346
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:31,500
And I. Yeah. Okay. Physical description.

347
00:22:32,140 --> 00:22:35,540
Physical description of Fion. He's described as being

348
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,940
super attractive. Brown hair swept into place, sapphire blue

349
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,020
eyes, athletic build ripped, and he's 6 4.

350
00:22:43,420 --> 00:22:46,860
Okay. Did you watch Schitt's Creek? I know you did. Yeah. Okay,

351
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:50,780
so Alexis's boyfriend, the vet. Yeah.

352
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,700
That's how I imagine Theon. That description is not at all.

353
00:22:55,090 --> 00:22:57,890
That's exactly how I imagine Theon. No derpy,

354
00:22:58,530 --> 00:23:02,130
pretty boy. Like preppy and just not

355
00:23:02,370 --> 00:23:03,010
for me.

356
00:23:05,730 --> 00:23:09,090
No. Peggle. Disagree. Moving on.

357
00:23:09,250 --> 00:23:12,530
All right, is this going to be a good episode or not? Should we stop

358
00:23:13,030 --> 00:23:16,370
recording now? We'll see. All right. Well,

359
00:23:16,870 --> 00:23:21,090
Rose is hospitalized and she has to have surgery on her leg. Jose Silveria,

360
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:24,720
the ringmaster of the circus, has stopped by the hospital to let Rose know that.

361
00:23:24,950 --> 00:23:28,390
That he and the circus have to move on. She can catch up with

362
00:23:28,890 --> 00:23:32,310
them when she has recovered and healed. Her RV has been

363
00:23:32,810 --> 00:23:36,230
set up at a local campground. While recovering, she is approached

364
00:23:36,730 --> 00:23:40,390
by a nurse who recognizes her from the circus and asks for a reading.

365
00:23:40,870 --> 00:23:44,950
And here, Rose realizes that she is also

366
00:23:45,030 --> 00:23:48,550
in need of a push from the nest with her special

367
00:23:48,790 --> 00:23:52,790
card. Fion has recovered Rose's motorcycle

368
00:23:53,290 --> 00:23:56,660
from outside the clinic. And the day she is released from the hospital, he shows

369
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,540
up at her RV to drop it off, only to discover that Rose cannot

370
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,140
easily maneuver with her crutches in the tight space of the rv and

371
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,540
without even realizing what he's done, offers Rose a room at his house.

372
00:24:07,780 --> 00:24:11,100
Okay, you skipped over her super funny description of the

373
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,060
trailer park. The creepy children. Yes. Yeah. Oh, my God. It was

374
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,300
funny. Rose sounds like a chapter talking about these creepy

375
00:24:19,740 --> 00:24:23,060
mm Children of the corn. I may not have even written it

376
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,020
down. Yeah. Oh, no, I did. Shoot. All I wrote is the campground

377
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,780
is creepy and they're creepy children, so. Okay. My description isn't great either.

378
00:24:31,420 --> 00:24:34,940
Is it okay if I move on or should we pull that up and

379
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,700
read a quote? I thought it was funny. Okay. Anyway,

380
00:24:39,260 --> 00:24:42,860
she accepts his offer and he takes her home, back to

381
00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:47,240
his place. What did you think of that? You're not

382
00:24:47,740 --> 00:24:51,320
in. I'm not. Like, the way that Rose is written to me is

383
00:24:51,820 --> 00:24:55,040
so young and so old at the same time. It's very hard to

384
00:24:55,540 --> 00:24:59,160
describe. I will agree with that. I get that inner thoughts are young,

385
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:03,160
but the words that come out of her mouth are that of an old soul.

386
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,400
Hmm. She presents to the world as if she

387
00:25:07,900 --> 00:25:11,320
is super well traveled, but in her mind,

388
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,140
she is an insecure message all of the time. She is more

389
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,300
insecure than Lark. But Sloane was super insecure. I think

390
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,420
that Rose is more insecure than Sloane, for sure. And I realized

391
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,340
that, like, this author likes to write complex women. Yeah. I have

392
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,980
known women like Rose who are very super

393
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,220
confident that they're doing the right thing, and they never are. I feel like

394
00:25:36,860 --> 00:25:39,760
removing these men from the earth is the right thing. Well,

395
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,080
yeah, except that she can't do it. She's helping other women.

396
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,520
Okay. She should have stuck with poisoning. I agree with that.

397
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:52,280
But, like, Sloan and Lark were doing serial killers or pedophiles,

398
00:25:52,780 --> 00:25:56,600
whereas Rose is helping women out of bad situations. Yeah. I mean,

399
00:25:57,100 --> 00:26:00,720
I can appreciate Rose doing what she's doing. I'm not saying that, like,

400
00:26:01,220 --> 00:26:04,840
I don't think that she should be doing any of these things. I'm saying I

401
00:26:05,340 --> 00:26:08,440
just think that Rose approaches everything from this.

402
00:26:08,940 --> 00:26:11,950
Like, she doesn't have a plan. She just goes with it and does whatever comes.

403
00:26:12,190 --> 00:26:15,550
And I. That's not for me. I need.

404
00:26:16,050 --> 00:26:19,590
That's also. Yeah, it's fine if you don't have it all under control. It's fine

405
00:26:20,090 --> 00:26:24,230
if you don't have a plan. But don't run head first into fucking

406
00:26:24,730 --> 00:26:28,270
everything like you do. Just admit you don't have a plan.

407
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:32,230
She calls for help, though, which after she botches

408
00:26:32,730 --> 00:26:36,030
it. Well, yeah, she tries to do it herself first. Oh, that's something I would

409
00:26:36,530 --> 00:26:39,830
do. Yeah. Well, again, if I was going to

410
00:26:40,330 --> 00:26:43,190
be a murderer, it would be like Rose and I would be murdering bad men

411
00:26:43,830 --> 00:26:47,110
again. I have to go back to, like, you don't know this man.

412
00:26:47,430 --> 00:26:50,230
You literally do not know. Oh, well, yeah, I don't think I do that.

413
00:26:50,310 --> 00:26:53,430
And he's like, do you want to come live with me? And she's like,

414
00:26:53,670 --> 00:26:56,630
I don't know. I don't got anything else to do. I guess so. No,

415
00:26:56,950 --> 00:27:00,390
I don't. Like, that's not how it happens. It absolutely gives

416
00:27:00,890 --> 00:27:04,560
me the ick when she calls him document. Interesting. I don't know the whole

417
00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:08,680
thing. It's just. Okay. Yeah. So she didn't

418
00:27:09,180 --> 00:27:12,240
just go with him willy nilly. Literally. She turns him down.

419
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,760
And then he's like, I know about Cranwell. And she's like,

420
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,880
what do you mean, like? And he's like, for you here.

421
00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,440
And he's like, you know Cranwell's business is right

422
00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:25,440
across the street, right? She's like, well,

423
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,650
this is a bad idea. Yeah. And I have just as many big thoughts about

424
00:27:31,150 --> 00:27:34,330
Fion as well. Because he. That is.

425
00:27:34,830 --> 00:27:38,490
You're so fucking annoying. Because in his mind, he's like, what am I

426
00:27:38,990 --> 00:27:41,810
doing? Why am I doing this? I need to stay away. And he's like,

427
00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:45,010
but don't you know that he's right across the street? You don't. You're have to

428
00:27:45,510 --> 00:27:48,450
live with me. And it's like, why don't you just shut up and go home?

429
00:27:48,850 --> 00:27:52,210
Like, also, I think it's a mobile trailer, so she could have driven it

430
00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:56,130
away. Honest to God. Well, I guess she couldn't because she had a broken

431
00:27:56,630 --> 00:27:59,650
leg. I'm just gonna say that it makes sense that Fion is the youngest.

432
00:28:00,130 --> 00:28:03,770
I will agree with that. He is. A lot of people love this book.

433
00:28:04,270 --> 00:28:07,210
He is a lot of people's favorite. Okay, well, I'm sorry to all those people

434
00:28:07,710 --> 00:28:09,890
because they're gonna hate me as we go through this. They really are. It doesn't

435
00:28:10,390 --> 00:28:13,530
get any better. So the night that Fion found Rose in his

436
00:28:14,030 --> 00:28:17,130
clinic, he went through her pockets to find her ID and found the ID of

437
00:28:17,630 --> 00:28:21,050
Matt, which Rose had solicited one of the circus kids

438
00:28:21,550 --> 00:28:25,610
to pick pickpocket from him in order to learn where he lived. And while checking

439
00:28:26,110 --> 00:28:29,810
on Rose at the hospital, he learned from another doctor that Matt

440
00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:34,130
had been in with a stab injury to his eye. Putting things together.

441
00:28:34,290 --> 00:28:38,010
Once he gets Rose back to his place, he starts pressing her for information about

442
00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:41,730
how her injury really happened. Because she had told him that she was in a

443
00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:46,330
motorcycle accident. She admits what really happened and makes to leave so

444
00:28:46,830 --> 00:28:50,140
as not to bring Fion any trouble. Well, and he does in his

445
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,580
head be like, I should let her go. Yeah. So dumb. So annoying.

446
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,220
He's like, rose is danger incarnate. And it's like, why don't you just.

447
00:28:57,620 --> 00:29:01,140
God, oh my God. Go find somebody to have sex

448
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,340
with because you are a mess. They need. They. Yes. They both need

449
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,180
to get laid. 100. Yeah. If these two. This is. Let me tell you,

450
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,620
this is a PSA to the world. This is what happens when you don't have

451
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,390
sex regularly. Yeah. This. This story is exactly

452
00:29:16,890 --> 00:29:20,510
what happens. Because these people fall in madly in love with

453
00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:24,310
each other and they don't say more than three sentences to each other for like

454
00:29:24,810 --> 00:29:28,190
six months. So everybody go have sex immediately.

455
00:29:28,430 --> 00:29:32,230
Some men are quieter. Strangely, a lot of the guys

456
00:29:32,730 --> 00:29:36,710
I've dated, even including Dave, I get a lot of quiet ones where.

457
00:29:37,210 --> 00:29:39,430
And I'm like, the three words is not that bad. I don't think that I

458
00:29:39,930 --> 00:29:42,390
get quiet ones. I think that they become quiet because there's no room for them

459
00:29:42,890 --> 00:29:45,250
to speak. I think everybody listening could see that.

460
00:29:47,330 --> 00:29:50,370
Now everybody understands why I wear the black. Yes.

461
00:29:50,610 --> 00:29:54,210
And what's so perfect today? Because I'm wearing white and you're wearing black. I know.

462
00:29:54,710 --> 00:29:57,810
I'm actually wearing blue today, which is a little bit of a deviation.

463
00:29:58,930 --> 00:30:02,050
Yeah. Peggle's blown away. Anyways,

464
00:30:02,370 --> 00:30:06,490
Theon convinces her to stay and convinces her that his

465
00:30:06,990 --> 00:30:11,100
place is the safest place for Matt, which she. She agrees to. A little

466
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,820
time goes by. Fion solicits Lachlan for information on the man that Rose tried to

467
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,220
take out. And he helps her and her leg injury while she

468
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:23,140
waits for the cast. And in this chapter, we start to see them bond a

469
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,220
little bit. To me, it felt really superficial. My sentence here is, I can't

470
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,860
tell for the life of me what either of them like about one another other

471
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,460
than that they feel a little less lonely when the other one is there,

472
00:30:32,780 --> 00:30:36,050
maybe. Okay, well, did we already get to

473
00:30:36,550 --> 00:30:40,170
the part where Fion goes to Cranwell's or did you skip that? I skipped a

474
00:30:40,670 --> 00:30:42,570
bit, if you want to talk about it. Well, no, I thought you'd have a

475
00:30:43,070 --> 00:30:45,890
lot to say about that. About him going to Cranwell's and almost murdering him with

476
00:30:46,390 --> 00:30:49,810
his son in the barn with him? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Just a

477
00:30:50,310 --> 00:30:53,370
blip. Well, he does that, but he doesn't kill him and he comes to his

478
00:30:53,870 --> 00:30:56,730
senses. He. I was like, is he having, like an episode? This is where we,

479
00:30:57,230 --> 00:30:59,930
like, start to get the, like, the fiat. Like, Theon is this, like,

480
00:31:00,410 --> 00:31:03,880
dark. He's like this. Got this dark entity living inside of

481
00:31:04,380 --> 00:31:07,240
him that he's like, trying to hold back and be the good boy that he's

482
00:31:07,740 --> 00:31:10,800
supposed to be. And it's like, oh, my God, your.

483
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,560
Brothers kill people for a living. That's a self imposed purgatory.

484
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,640
Like, just honestly, go fuck somebody. Go kill

485
00:31:19,140 --> 00:31:22,040
somebody. You'll feel so much better. Rose goes with Fion to the hospital and she

486
00:31:22,540 --> 00:31:25,760
gets her cast put on. And while she waits for Fion to

487
00:31:26,260 --> 00:31:29,650
finish his shift, she decides to wander around the town and ends up

488
00:31:30,150 --> 00:31:34,250
In a gun shop, overhearing a phone conversation between the nurse,

489
00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:39,010
Naomi, whose tarot she had read, and her boyfriend Eric.

490
00:31:39,570 --> 00:31:43,169
And Rose overhears Eric having a

491
00:31:43,669 --> 00:31:47,090
phone conversation with Naomi where he's being very

492
00:31:47,410 --> 00:31:51,250
abusive and rude and decides that she's gonna murder him.

493
00:31:51,750 --> 00:31:55,060
She decides it's right there in the. In the gun shop. Well, Naomi had already

494
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:59,580
asked for help. And also, I'm sorry, but Eric.

495
00:31:59,740 --> 00:32:03,140
Oh, yeah, literally, he's yelling at his girlfriend on the phone. He could, like,

496
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,380
hear her on the other line. And then he proceeds to hit on Rose.

497
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:10,300
Yeah, he's the worst. I'm glad that she does kill him.

498
00:32:10,460 --> 00:32:13,980
I think that's why Bryn Weaver got me with this one, because it's just,

499
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:18,020
you know, I hate men. I would have decided right then too. Yeah,

500
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,950
well, you know, it's par for the course because she has no idea what

501
00:32:22,450 --> 00:32:24,550
the plan is. She decides that she's going to hide in the back of his.

502
00:32:25,110 --> 00:32:28,710
Her leg is in like, a full leg cast. Is.

503
00:32:29,210 --> 00:32:31,350
Are you trying to fight this? Like. No, I'm saying,

504
00:32:32,390 --> 00:32:35,630
yeah, thank you. I want to poison this

505
00:32:36,130 --> 00:32:38,190
one. He has to put her crutches in the back of his truck before she

506
00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:41,510
gets in there and hides in the back of it. Yeah. And then she doesn't

507
00:32:42,010 --> 00:32:45,420
turn off her phone. That was dumb. If you're gonna murder,

508
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,740
at least be silent. What are you doing? That's true. She gets in

509
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:53,420
the back of his truck. She hides underneath some blankets. He gets into the truck,

510
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,380
cracks a beer because we are in the middle of Trump country.

511
00:32:57,860 --> 00:33:01,260
And drives his truck out into the middle of a

512
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:04,780
field. And Fion. His shift ends and he

513
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,140
decides he's gonna call Rose because he's gotta bring her home. And her fucking phone

514
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:13,290
goes off. And Eric in the front seat is like, what the fuck? And Rose,

515
00:33:13,770 --> 00:33:17,290
full circus person, jumps out from under the blanket

516
00:33:17,790 --> 00:33:21,370
and goes, tada. And then stabs him promptly in the neck

517
00:33:21,870 --> 00:33:25,370
while he's still driving and operating. How did you not love this?

518
00:33:26,090 --> 00:33:29,050
What? As you're saying that I'm like, oh, yes,

519
00:33:29,550 --> 00:33:33,370
girl, this is great. Appreciate the chaos of it. Yes, clearly I don't.

520
00:33:33,450 --> 00:33:37,440
It's so messy. There's so many. So many fingerprint

521
00:33:37,940 --> 00:33:42,160
prints. Your DNA is all over everything. This is so poorly planned and executed.

522
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,040
I can't stand it. I can't stand it.

523
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,800
Don't call me. I. I'm telling you right now, if you pull some

524
00:33:50,300 --> 00:33:53,560
shit like this, do not call me. Because I would call Pagel

525
00:33:54,060 --> 00:33:57,280
and Melissa. You would call. You would bring Melissa into that. That feels Like a

526
00:33:57,780 --> 00:34:01,440
bad decision. Melissa. You think that Melissa is going to help you get rid

527
00:34:01,940 --> 00:34:03,990
of that body. Or she's going to make it work? Melissa would be the one

528
00:34:04,490 --> 00:34:08,110
who staples his eyelids open. That's what she would just

529
00:34:08,610 --> 00:34:11,750
add to the crime. Yeah. Pagel would be out of her mind. Like, what are

530
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:15,350
you idiots doing? I'm trying to clean up the crime scene. Yeah. And Melissa would

531
00:34:15,850 --> 00:34:19,189
be drinking the beer, stapling his eyes. Yes. 100%. Yeah.

532
00:34:19,689 --> 00:34:21,150
It's. Well, Pagel. I am Darshan.

533
00:34:23,630 --> 00:34:27,350
I. Yeah. I would call Pagel to clean this up for me. Just like Rose

534
00:34:27,850 --> 00:34:31,910
calls Fian. Yeah. So she stabs him. He is still driving this motor vehicle.

535
00:34:32,410 --> 00:34:36,590
He obviously loses control of the vehicle. It basically careens

536
00:34:36,750 --> 00:34:40,070
off of the road through a field towards a cliff.

537
00:34:40,570 --> 00:34:43,750
Towards a cliff where it is now dangling on the cliff

538
00:34:44,250 --> 00:34:48,350
edge with a giant river underneath it. Right. And so

539
00:34:48,850 --> 00:34:51,470
Rose is like, I don't know what to do. I'm gonna call Doc.

540
00:34:51,630 --> 00:34:54,910
Yeah. She calls up Fion. Fion comes out there and is like,

541
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:58,440
fion is me. Honestly, I should like him more for his reaction

542
00:34:58,940 --> 00:35:02,560
here because Fion is me. Fiona's like, what the fuck were you thinking? What was

543
00:35:03,060 --> 00:35:05,640
the plan? I think he even asks her, like, what was the plan?

544
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,240
You know? And I think he wins some points with me for that. And I'm

545
00:35:09,740 --> 00:35:12,120
not going to be as mean to him. I don't. But.

546
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:17,960
But he does. He helps her clean up the mess. I can't remember why she

547
00:35:18,460 --> 00:35:21,000
staples his eyelids open. So, yeah,

548
00:35:21,100 --> 00:35:23,580
Fianna's like, we need to make. Like, we need to get in his phone to

549
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,500
see if anybody knew where he was headed, because they're gonna try to make it

550
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,060
seem. Because he was going. He's actually going hunting. But he,

551
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:35,060
like, wasn't hunting season, so he's pretending to go fishing. Sure. His phone.

552
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:38,220
Okay. So they needed to staple his eyelids open so that they could open up

553
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:41,620
his phone. Yes, that's right. I remember that now. Yeah. Yeah. And it's funny.

554
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,780
Thank God he had a staple gun. Yeah. Because then Theon. Theon and Rose push

555
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,100
the truck over the edge of the cliff with him in it. And then Rose

556
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:52,740
is like. Well, wipes her hands clean. Is like, well, that takes care of that.

557
00:35:53,240 --> 00:35:56,460
And Fion's like, let's hope that they don't notice that his eyelids are stapled.

558
00:35:56,540 --> 00:36:00,100
Shoven. Like, yeah, they were like, oh, he'll. They'll just think that he went off.

559
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,579
He was drunk and he went off the cliff. And. Yeah, he'll be decomposed by

560
00:36:05,079 --> 00:36:08,700
then. Yeah. Fingers crossed. I do

561
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,860
love, though, that Fion helps her and isn't scared away.

562
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:16,700
Yeah, I guess I really, like, wasn't surprised by that. I mean,

563
00:36:17,180 --> 00:36:20,280
given who his brothers are. I don't know.

564
00:36:20,780 --> 00:36:24,200
I. I think that he. I think that he knew by this point had put

565
00:36:24,700 --> 00:36:28,160
together that she was. But given who his brothers are,

566
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,400
you would think he may want to stay away from crazy.

567
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:36,160
He also does. When he asks her what happened, she was like, I definitely

568
00:36:36,660 --> 00:36:40,320
started it. Yeah. I don't think that Rose is crazy. I wouldn't

569
00:36:40,820 --> 00:36:44,400
describe Rose that way. I think she is,

570
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:49,160
for all of her chaos, is pretty grounded for the most part as

571
00:36:49,660 --> 00:36:53,400
a person. I just think that she doesn't plan like.

572
00:36:53,900 --> 00:36:56,960
I just think that she just is short sighted, that's all. Anyways,

573
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,560
moving forward, Theon begins to avoid

574
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,560
Rose, but is, for some reason,

575
00:37:04,060 --> 00:37:07,080
totally and completely in love with her, even though he never talks to her.

576
00:37:07,580 --> 00:37:10,960
There's that line. I put it right there. He goes to check on

577
00:37:11,460 --> 00:37:14,550
her one day and discovers that she's not home. And he.

578
00:37:14,790 --> 00:37:17,990
It's like six in the morning. He decides that he's

579
00:37:18,490 --> 00:37:21,910
going to go through her room where he starts to find clues that allude

580
00:37:22,410 --> 00:37:26,430
to her history of murdering abusive men. Yep. So she's growing like

581
00:37:26,930 --> 00:37:31,350
nightshade and. Yeah. And he finds a letter from a woman thanking her.

582
00:37:31,850 --> 00:37:35,790
Yeah. He heads to his weekly crochet meeting and he

583
00:37:36,290 --> 00:37:39,920
discovers that Rose has crashed it and is making friends with the women that he

584
00:37:40,420 --> 00:37:43,680
crochets with, who he refers to as the Suture sisters.

585
00:37:44,180 --> 00:37:48,680
It's so funny. Yeah. I was obsessed with this. They mercilessly

586
00:37:49,180 --> 00:37:52,960
tease him. Yeah. And make, like, sexual innuendos.

587
00:37:53,460 --> 00:37:56,400
Well, Rose literally tells them. They're like, oh, what you making, Rose? She's like a

588
00:37:56,900 --> 00:38:00,840
sex swing. Like, oh, you're gonna need some. Some sturdier rope for that string.

589
00:38:01,340 --> 00:38:03,960
And the other one is like, oh, my husband could make you a platform.

590
00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:07,580
Mm. And then she's like, well, I need to make sure it would hold.

591
00:38:07,740 --> 00:38:11,060
What do you think, like a six, four man, or however big he is.

592
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,820
And yeah. He's like, yeah, theoretically, it does make sense to

593
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,540
me. I'm gonna give it to Brynn Weaver because she's an excellent writer. It makes

594
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:21,500
sense to me that Fion would end up with somebody who likes to give him

595
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:26,340
a hard time the same way that Lachlan does. Yeah, 100%. That's the primary way

596
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:29,460
that somebody has shown him that he loves him his whole life. And it makes

597
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:33,870
sense that Rose doing that is the thing that like seals the deal for him.

598
00:38:34,030 --> 00:38:37,710
So she really thought that out when she wrote that. So, yeah,

599
00:38:38,210 --> 00:38:40,750
they end their night, they go home, and on their way home,

600
00:38:41,150 --> 00:38:44,990
Rose basically just like point blank asks him without

601
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:49,390
any other context, just tell me about the girl. She read his tarot cards on

602
00:38:49,890 --> 00:38:52,910
the first night. Yeah. And even though he didn't want them read and she's like,

603
00:38:53,070 --> 00:38:56,190
like, there's a girl. You're here because of a girl. Yeah.

604
00:38:56,650 --> 00:39:00,490
And yeah. But he. He hasn't told her that. She just knows

605
00:39:00,990 --> 00:39:04,250
it. Which again, I have to go back to. The things that she

606
00:39:04,750 --> 00:39:07,930
says out loud are giving old soul. Like for her to be able to identify

607
00:39:08,430 --> 00:39:11,570
that in her mind. She's like, oh my God, does he like me? He doesn't

608
00:39:12,070 --> 00:39:15,370
like me. So simple and plain. Oh,

609
00:39:15,870 --> 00:39:19,490
my God. All right, we get a small interlude here where Fion

610
00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:23,810
and Rose's reality show is interrupted by an opiate addicted

611
00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:27,600
raccoon named Barbara who breaks into the clinic and

612
00:39:28,100 --> 00:39:31,280
they have to go and get her out. And while there,

613
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,000
Matt makes a surprise visit and Theon fields

614
00:39:35,500 --> 00:39:38,760
his inquiries about Rose while she hides in. You are skipping

615
00:39:39,260 --> 00:39:42,080
over. This is like my favorite part of the book. This is actually a very

616
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:45,560
funny scene. I did laugh. It was so like when they're sitting watching the show

617
00:39:46,060 --> 00:39:48,720
and he pulls out his phone and he's like, fucking Barbara. And she's like,

618
00:39:49,220 --> 00:39:52,160
yeah, fucking Barbara. Let's fuck her up. And it's funny. And then she finds out

619
00:39:52,660 --> 00:39:55,520
it's a raccoon. And then she's like, oh no, she's really cute. We're not gonna

620
00:39:56,020 --> 00:39:59,600
fuck Barbara up. And the raccoon like attacks Theon

621
00:40:00,100 --> 00:40:03,600
and. Yeah, it's funny. And like a drug addicted raccoon

622
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,240
named Barbara. Yeah. This is so great. This is gonna be our

623
00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:10,800
most unhinged recap. It really is. But I think it's because how much,

624
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,320
like I vehemently love this book and you hate it. Yeah.

625
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,880
Also because I did tell you that I have thoughts about the animals because

626
00:40:18,380 --> 00:40:21,760
every book has an animal. Yeah. Like Sloane gets the cat,

627
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,240
Lark has her dog, and now Rose has a raccoon. Yeah. And I

628
00:40:26,740 --> 00:40:29,920
think it's so like their animals encapsulate their personalities.

629
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,720
Sloan is a puppet. Yeah. Lark is a golden

630
00:40:34,220 --> 00:40:37,200
retriever. Or at least how they like kind of portray themselves.

631
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,480
Yeah. And Rose is a drug addicted raccoon.

632
00:40:40,980 --> 00:40:44,400
Yeah. Lark's dog is not a golden retriever, though. It's like a big shepherd dog.

633
00:40:44,900 --> 00:40:47,440
I know, but still like is more Lark's personality.

634
00:40:48,060 --> 00:40:51,460
Lark is giving like loyal To a fault. But, like, also,

635
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,660
don't with me. Yes. 100. And Sloan's is like,

636
00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:59,020
I will come to you when I want you. Stay away from me.

637
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:03,420
Yeah. And Rose is literally like, whether you want me here or

638
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,500
not, I'm going to be here. Yeah. And cause quite

639
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,900
a bit of chaos. I'm gonna really disrupt your life. Oh, my God. That was

640
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:14,580
so insightful. I know. Wow. And really made this note because

641
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:19,120
I was like, this is so perfect. Like, Bryn Weaver. Yeah. I love

642
00:41:19,620 --> 00:41:22,880
that. Oh, my God, you're growing so much. Wow.

643
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:26,360
No, Barbara is great. Yeah. Rose is

644
00:41:26,860 --> 00:41:30,160
great. Yeah. I love it. Barbara bites fan. And he has to go get

645
00:41:30,660 --> 00:41:33,680
a rabies shop, which is pretty funny. So. Yes.

646
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:37,840
All right. Well, Theon does something unique on the side. He acts as the

647
00:41:38,340 --> 00:41:42,080
sideline doctor for some illegal barn fighting that

648
00:41:42,580 --> 00:41:45,450
happens in this, like, little town. And Rose,

649
00:41:45,770 --> 00:41:48,330
once again, shows up uninvited,

650
00:41:50,090 --> 00:41:53,130
and she gets caught up in a fight that happens

651
00:41:53,630 --> 00:41:57,050
on the sidelines. And Fion basically sees red and beats

652
00:41:57,550 --> 00:42:00,810
the living hell out of one of the guys that was involved in this fight.

653
00:42:01,130 --> 00:42:04,890
So we've come to the point in the timeline where Rowan

654
00:42:05,390 --> 00:42:09,730
and Sloane show up at Fion's house to fix Sloan

655
00:42:10,130 --> 00:42:13,730
after their run in with Harvey in Texas. I have been waiting

656
00:42:14,230 --> 00:42:17,610
for this. Really? I could not wait for some of our side characters

657
00:42:18,110 --> 00:42:21,410
to come in. I know. So while they're here,

658
00:42:21,650 --> 00:42:25,249
basically, at this point is kind of where we get the inception

659
00:42:25,749 --> 00:42:30,450
of Fion and Rose as friends with benefits. Yeah. Because Rowan

660
00:42:30,690 --> 00:42:33,730
can tell that, first of all, that Fion is

661
00:42:34,230 --> 00:42:37,710
obsessed with Rose, but also that he's, like, hung up on Claire. And so

662
00:42:38,210 --> 00:42:41,430
he basically tells Fion, maybe she's just an adult who wants to

663
00:42:41,930 --> 00:42:45,390
have fun. Yeah. And it's like, she's not in. That did kind of annoy because

664
00:42:45,890 --> 00:42:48,350
f. I guess Fiona is a big, dumb idiot walking around bumping into things.

665
00:42:48,850 --> 00:42:52,390
Fion is absolutely, unquestionably a big,

666
00:42:52,890 --> 00:42:56,030
dumb idiot walking around bumping into things. So he's like, oh, this girl. If I

667
00:42:56,530 --> 00:42:58,390
sleep with her, she's going to fall in love with me and have feelings for

668
00:42:58,890 --> 00:43:01,690
me, and I just can't do that right now. Yeah. And Rowan is like,

669
00:43:02,190 --> 00:43:04,610
did she tell you that? Because that's not the vibe I'm getting from her.

670
00:43:04,690 --> 00:43:07,490
Yeah. Maybe she's an adult who can have sex for fun.

671
00:43:07,650 --> 00:43:11,090
Yeah. Get over yourself, Fion. Literally. Literally,

672
00:43:11,590 --> 00:43:14,850
get over yourself. Oh, my God. I can't. That I will agree with, but it's

673
00:43:15,350 --> 00:43:19,730
just a very, like, man thing to do. After Rowan and Sloane, leave. While Theon

674
00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:23,770
is attending to Rose's injury, Rose decides that she's gonna

675
00:43:24,270 --> 00:43:27,590
nudge him into getting physical with her. Yeah. By literally

676
00:43:28,090 --> 00:43:31,670
grabbing his hand, running it up her leg, and putting it on her pussy.

677
00:43:32,170 --> 00:43:35,710
Yep. Yep. Good for you, Rose. Yeah. I don't know why,

678
00:43:36,210 --> 00:43:39,710
but this really bothered me because she is, like, running his

679
00:43:40,210 --> 00:43:43,470
hand. I fucking hate this book. I hate these sex scenes.

680
00:43:43,970 --> 00:43:47,470
She's, like, running his hand up. Up her leg, and then she, like, sets it

681
00:43:47,550 --> 00:43:50,870
on her crotch and is like. And I put it right where

682
00:43:51,370 --> 00:43:55,190
it's wet and warm, and I'm like, can you fucking not maybe.

683
00:43:55,690 --> 00:43:59,030
Can you just shut the up and have sex with him? You were just waiting

684
00:43:59,530 --> 00:44:02,990
for them. This was a lot of that yearning. Yeah. And not sex.

685
00:44:03,150 --> 00:44:06,270
This is very different. With Sloan and Rowan, it was,

686
00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:09,710
like, very much. You could tell that they were crazy about each other,

687
00:44:09,870 --> 00:44:14,030
but it was very much like a. It was very controlled.

688
00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:17,710
Yeah. It was very, like, thoughtful. And there was a friendship there.

689
00:44:17,950 --> 00:44:21,640
Yeah. And with these two, it's like, I'm over here,

690
00:44:22,140 --> 00:44:24,440
and you're over there, and you stay in your side. I'm gonna stay on my

691
00:44:24,940 --> 00:44:27,120
side, and I'm in love with you, but I'm not gonna tell you, and I'm

692
00:44:27,620 --> 00:44:30,040
in love with you, and I'm not gonna tell you. And the whole thing is

693
00:44:30,540 --> 00:44:33,240
so fucking childish, and I can't fucking deal with it. Yeah. So.

694
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:37,120
Okay. Yeah. When she

695
00:44:37,620 --> 00:44:41,240
realizes that he isn't stopping her, they decide to make a

696
00:44:41,740 --> 00:44:44,680
set of rules about their hooking up. Yeah.

697
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:48,520
Yeah. So no one's not for. Thank you.

698
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:52,700
Just do it. Oh, my God. And I don't like these way

699
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,740
that they follow them with such, like, they are so, like.

700
00:44:57,240 --> 00:45:00,380
No, no, no. There's no cuddling. No, no, no. I know. They do that multiple

701
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:04,180
times. I also. All they want to do is kiss each other. Yeah.

702
00:45:04,500 --> 00:45:07,740
Cuddle Earth. Yeah. Just. Is this a rule? Honestly,

703
00:45:08,240 --> 00:45:11,620
Just do it. This is. We have free will. We can do

704
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:15,380
whatever the we want. Yeah. All right. Well, there's no cuddling, no pda,

705
00:45:15,860 --> 00:45:18,340
no pet names, and no kissing.

706
00:45:18,790 --> 00:45:22,710
Yep. When they've agreed, Fion goes down on Rose until

707
00:45:23,210 --> 00:45:26,710
she orgasms and then takes her to his room, where they agree that they both

708
00:45:27,210 --> 00:45:31,030
like the idea of Fion coming inside of Rose, they have sex in missionary.

709
00:45:31,510 --> 00:45:35,350
Oh, my God. While they talk about how much they like having

710
00:45:35,850 --> 00:45:39,270
sex with each other and discuss Fion chasing Rose.

711
00:45:39,350 --> 00:45:42,550
And then Theon comes, and then they do it again. And just

712
00:45:43,050 --> 00:45:46,750
as he's about to participate in aftercare, Rose Shimmies off the bed and goes,

713
00:45:47,250 --> 00:45:50,030
all right, net doc. And goes back to her room. Yeah.

714
00:45:50,190 --> 00:45:53,390
Yeah. Even though neither of them wanted that. Yeah.

715
00:45:53,470 --> 00:45:56,230
That is something that I would have done, too, if you've told me I'm not

716
00:45:56,730 --> 00:45:59,430
staying to cuddle. I'm not fucking staying to cuddle. Even if I can tell you

717
00:45:59,930 --> 00:46:03,470
want me to stay and cuddle. Okay. But I just think, even if it.

718
00:46:03,970 --> 00:46:07,470
Bothers me, I'm the type of person, though, I will kill myself

719
00:46:07,790 --> 00:46:11,640
to hurt you. Oh, my God. To prove a point. I think I'm crazier

720
00:46:12,140 --> 00:46:14,400
than you think I am. Oh, honey, no.

721
00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:19,360
That's just as crazy as I think you are. But, yeah, I'm like,

722
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,640
oh, if I had to. Like, if Dave cheats on me.

723
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:26,560
Yeah. And I have to kill. I. Gone girl. Yeah. Oh,

724
00:46:27,060 --> 00:46:30,400
wow. I would have to frame him for my murder and then actually die.

725
00:46:30,880 --> 00:46:34,360
Ensure he goes to prison. Yeah. See, and I. At the end of this,

726
00:46:34,860 --> 00:46:37,750
I would have been like, I know that we made the rules. I really want

727
00:46:38,250 --> 00:46:40,110
to be super respectful of those rules, but I have to be really honest with

728
00:46:40,610 --> 00:46:43,590
you that I don't think that I'm on board with those. After this happened.

729
00:46:44,090 --> 00:46:46,710
Like, oh, I don't know her.

730
00:46:46,870 --> 00:46:50,030
Okay. Right. I get that.

731
00:46:50,530 --> 00:46:53,550
Maybe that's why I like this fun. I like this book.

732
00:46:54,050 --> 00:46:56,790
So would you tell me if you were mad at me, or would you.

733
00:46:57,290 --> 00:46:59,110
Just kill myself and frame me for my murder?

734
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,760
It's hard to say. Hard to say.

735
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,360
Yikes. What have I gotten myself into? But now it's,

736
00:47:10,860 --> 00:47:13,240
like, out there, so I guess I can't. Sure. You're gonna have to come up

737
00:47:13,740 --> 00:47:17,320
with a different way to torture me. Yeah, that's great. Stop.

738
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,400
Megalist whispering Ways to do it in her ear. It's so

739
00:47:21,900 --> 00:47:25,720
rude. Theon and Rose are headed to Boston for Rowan's

740
00:47:26,220 --> 00:47:29,120
restaurant opening. And while they are on the plane. Plane.

741
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:32,320
Theon fingers Rose while they're

742
00:47:32,820 --> 00:47:36,000
in their seats. And you hated it. I hated it. It was so lame.

743
00:47:36,500 --> 00:47:39,640
It was so. How is that lame? I don't know. It was just, like,

744
00:47:40,140 --> 00:47:43,960
the way that they did it was just like. There's no audience. Yeah. I feel

745
00:47:44,460 --> 00:47:47,680
like that kind of is a childish thing to do. Yeah, on a plane is

746
00:47:48,180 --> 00:47:50,960
pretty childish. I don't know. I guess I just feel like if I'm gonna have

747
00:47:51,460 --> 00:47:54,600
sex on a plane, it's gonna be in a private jet. Well, I'm sorry.

748
00:47:55,100 --> 00:47:58,310
I don't think the doctor can do that. Okay,

749
00:47:58,390 --> 00:48:02,390
well, fine. I did

750
00:48:02,890 --> 00:48:06,350
love this part because her. When they get to Boston, her bag is

751
00:48:06,850 --> 00:48:09,950
lost, and they find it, and it's in Florida. Yeah. With her tarot deck.

752
00:48:10,450 --> 00:48:12,990
Tarot cards in it. Yeah. And then she's like, oh, well, that makes sense,

753
00:48:13,490 --> 00:48:16,070
because my grandma always did say she wanted to go to Florida or something,

754
00:48:16,390 --> 00:48:19,670
and the deck is her grandma's. I loved that part. Yeah.

755
00:48:20,170 --> 00:48:24,190
Because she. I think she thinks that the magic of the deck is being controlled

756
00:48:24,690 --> 00:48:28,340
by her dead grandmother. Yes. Basically. So that's like the word.

757
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,860
Like, that's the power that's infusing the deck when she does her readings. Yeah.

758
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,380
And then they get to the hotel, and the hotel has fucked up

759
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,140
the reservation, which I just have to again say Fiona is a

760
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,140
big dumb idiot walking around, bumping into things. Because I believe 100% that he fucked

761
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,660
it up when he was booking it. Because he didn't. He didn't verify things.

762
00:48:47,160 --> 00:48:49,860
He didn't make sure that it was two rooms. All of the things that you're

763
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,220
supposed to do before you go on a trip. That's why I am not Darshan,

764
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,280
because I do that. That would be me doing that. We would have

765
00:48:57,780 --> 00:48:59,280
gotten there, and we would have had our rooms, and it would have been fine.

766
00:48:59,780 --> 00:49:03,040
But in this case, they don't have the rooms. And so Fion is getting,

767
00:49:03,540 --> 00:49:06,960
like, all worked up about it, and he's like, well, how much? We need separate

768
00:49:07,460 --> 00:49:10,880
beds. We can't have the same beds because of the rules. We can't sleep

769
00:49:11,380 --> 00:49:14,240
together. How much is it for an executive suite? And she's like, it's a thousand

770
00:49:14,740 --> 00:49:17,720
dollars a night. And he's like, all right, we'll take it. Well, then he and

771
00:49:18,220 --> 00:49:21,360
Rose into the wolf's fat little lovers quarrel. She's like, God forbid, you can.

772
00:49:21,880 --> 00:49:25,000
You can't share a room with me. You have to spend an extra thousand dollars

773
00:49:25,500 --> 00:49:28,960
a night. Yeah. To be away from me. Yeah. And then he starts

774
00:49:29,460 --> 00:49:32,440
again, just. I fucking hate this guy. He's like, oh, well, I don't want you

775
00:49:32,940 --> 00:49:36,240
to fall in love with me because we share a hotel room for one

776
00:49:36,740 --> 00:49:39,880
night. Rose is like, just because you figured we're on a

777
00:49:40,380 --> 00:49:42,800
plane doesn't mean I'm. Gonna fall in love with you. And there are two women

778
00:49:43,300 --> 00:49:45,640
walking out of the elevator who are like, yeah, girl,

779
00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,550
kill him. And you hate that. You hate

780
00:49:50,050 --> 00:49:53,670
that. Hate it so much. And that is where my notes land.

781
00:49:54,630 --> 00:49:56,950
So now you hate this book so much, we're going to have to listen to

782
00:49:57,450 --> 00:50:01,070
my recap. I know, but the thing is, is I actually start to

783
00:50:01,570 --> 00:50:04,869
kind of like the book after. Sure. So now we have my notes. And you

784
00:50:05,369 --> 00:50:08,790
like it? Yeah, hopefully. All right. I want to be so respectful while you recap.

785
00:50:09,290 --> 00:50:11,910
Yeah, I bet. All right, well, now I need to see where I am.

786
00:50:12,410 --> 00:50:15,590
I've just been kind of dar. Shotting it. Yeah, just going up here.

787
00:50:16,410 --> 00:50:19,890
Peggle. Are you enjoying back at the room? When they get into the room,

788
00:50:20,390 --> 00:50:24,010
they just, like, talk. We're gonna skip that. And then Rose

789
00:50:24,510 --> 00:50:28,010
meets up with Sloan and Lark, and Sloan is interrogating Lark about Lachlan.

790
00:50:28,570 --> 00:50:31,690
And then. This is boring stuff. I don't know why I wrote all this.

791
00:50:32,330 --> 00:50:35,650
Can I. I'm sorry. Can I just. Okay. So while they're in Boston, the girls

792
00:50:36,150 --> 00:50:39,690
get coffee, and they have some girl talk. You're dying over my

793
00:50:40,190 --> 00:50:43,670
notes. I am, yeah. They're awful. The girls have some small talk,

794
00:50:43,990 --> 00:50:47,390
and basically they separate. So now we've kind of

795
00:50:47,890 --> 00:50:51,670
established a relationship. They've got each other's numbers, those types of things. And what ends

796
00:50:52,170 --> 00:50:55,390
up happening is that this is the part in the book where we start to

797
00:50:55,890 --> 00:50:59,150
intersect more with the other storylines. This is the

798
00:50:59,650 --> 00:51:02,910
part where Rowan breaks up with Sloane. Yes. And basically

799
00:51:03,410 --> 00:51:07,110
the entire group chat is notified about it, which is very real to life,

800
00:51:07,190 --> 00:51:11,120
100%. Then that is kind of where that

801
00:51:11,620 --> 00:51:15,520
scene basically starts to play out. And they realize

802
00:51:16,020 --> 00:51:19,560
that Fion needs to go and Dr. Rowan, because he's

803
00:51:20,060 --> 00:51:23,320
missing a large chunk of his arm. And then you can go ahead

804
00:51:23,820 --> 00:51:27,280
and keep going. Rose gets her cast off, and since she was just in Boston,

805
00:51:27,780 --> 00:51:29,600
she has been debating, like, maybe sticking around,

806
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:34,000
moving to Boston. Like, Rowan said he'll give her a job at his restaurant.

807
00:51:34,500 --> 00:51:38,270
So she's been kind of debating that. Basically, they decide that Rose is gonna go

808
00:51:38,510 --> 00:51:41,990
back to the circus. And they start from

809
00:51:42,490 --> 00:51:46,270
here on out, the long distant friends with benefits, which is so

810
00:51:46,770 --> 00:51:50,710
fucking silly to me, just doesn't make any sense. Like, just find somebody

811
00:51:51,210 --> 00:51:55,190
in Nebraska. I don't know why you're flying across the country to

812
00:51:55,690 --> 00:51:57,950
see Rose, but you're not in love with her, and you're not ready for a

813
00:51:58,450 --> 00:52:01,590
girlfriend, and you're not ready for a relationship. You're the worst. But it does make

814
00:52:02,090 --> 00:52:05,360
a great feel. Men who have commitment issues are the worst.

815
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,920
Just tell her that you love her already. Oh, my God. But it makes her

816
00:52:09,420 --> 00:52:12,280
a great scene because Rose is back at the circus, and Fiona is there to

817
00:52:12,780 --> 00:52:16,040
visit. Yeah. He shows up and knocks on her door, and there's. Well, he can

818
00:52:16,540 --> 00:52:19,040
hear. As he's getting up, he can hear the treadmill, and he's like, oh,

819
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,360
she's definitely Going too hard. Like, yeah. She knows she should not

820
00:52:22,860 --> 00:52:26,480
be going that hard. Yeah. And, yeah, she opens the door, and she's like

821
00:52:26,980 --> 00:52:30,280
a sweaty mess. And he realizes that there's

822
00:52:30,780 --> 00:52:33,910
a man running, and he's like, oh, God, I'm early. I should.

823
00:52:34,410 --> 00:52:37,470
I came early. I shouldn't have done it. We don't have any rules. This is

824
00:52:37,970 --> 00:52:41,150
fine. Yeah. Yeah. And Rose chases him out and is like,

825
00:52:41,650 --> 00:52:44,670
it's not what you think it is. Basically, like, this guy is a dirt bag,

826
00:52:45,170 --> 00:52:48,830
and I promised him anal if he could beat my record on

827
00:52:49,330 --> 00:52:51,550
the treadmill. And Theon is like, what was the record? And she was like,

828
00:52:52,050 --> 00:52:54,950
that's the best part. There is no record. I gave him a bunch of amphetamines.

829
00:52:55,030 --> 00:52:57,430
And. And Theon is like, what was your plan?

830
00:52:58,190 --> 00:53:01,870
Literally, what was your plan? Like, you just thought that he would

831
00:53:02,370 --> 00:53:05,510
run so fast he'd have a heart attack. She was like, yeah. Yeah. And he

832
00:53:06,010 --> 00:53:09,510
doesn't. Of course he doesn't, because it wouldn't be Rose. If it worked

833
00:53:10,010 --> 00:53:13,629
out correctly, somehow they finagle this guy to run

834
00:53:14,129 --> 00:53:17,390
around. Run outside. Yeah. Go ahead and run around the

835
00:53:17,890 --> 00:53:21,590
campsite where all of the circus people are set up, and the guy

836
00:53:22,090 --> 00:53:25,820
trips and falls over a rock and lands on a. On the

837
00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:29,460
top of a picket fence, and the piece of the picket fence goes through

838
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,540
his neck, and he effectively dies. Ta da. The best

839
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,140
part is that Rose text Sloane to be like, how much drug should

840
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:42,100
I give him? And she got enough speed to kill a gorilla.

841
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:46,140
My favorite part about all of this is that, like, Sloane is the resident expert

842
00:53:46,220 --> 00:53:48,940
for all of her little serial killer minions.

843
00:53:49,820 --> 00:53:53,500
So. Great. But again, the best part of this scene is when Fion walks

844
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,430
into the trailer and he sees Barbara. They're training her to be in the circus.

845
00:53:57,930 --> 00:54:01,430
Yeah. Oh, my God, it's so cute.

846
00:54:01,930 --> 00:54:05,430
But apparently Rose said that as she was leaving, Barbara was on the roof being,

847
00:54:05,930 --> 00:54:08,510
like, a cat burglar, and she fell off the roof, and she heard her paw.

848
00:54:09,010 --> 00:54:11,070
Oh. So she couldn't leave her. She had to take her. And now she's gonna

849
00:54:11,570 --> 00:54:14,590
be in the circus. Yeah. Barbara is the star.

850
00:54:14,990 --> 00:54:18,190
Yeah. And I will hear nothing about it.

851
00:54:18,350 --> 00:54:21,960
Okay. Yeah, I agree with you, actually. I think she's pretty much the most

852
00:54:22,460 --> 00:54:26,320
interesting character in the book. Any ways.

853
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,960
Now we get another fun sex scene. It's actually not

854
00:54:30,460 --> 00:54:33,240
any fun. I hated this. This was the reason. This was not my favorite either.

855
00:54:33,740 --> 00:54:37,280
This is the reason that I stopped reading the book. So basically, Rose decides

856
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,000
Fion has to act as the doctor because that's part of

857
00:54:41,500 --> 00:54:44,840
the Hippocratic oath that he takes. Yeah. So he has to pretend he's got

858
00:54:45,340 --> 00:54:49,080
to go through the motions with. The guy's name is Chad. Yeah. And so

859
00:54:49,580 --> 00:54:51,560
he goes through the kind of the motions, and then they declare him dead.

860
00:54:52,060 --> 00:54:55,300
And, like, it's an accident, whatever. And the ambulance takes him

861
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,820
away. And Rose is like, well, he's made up my mess again. I'm going to

862
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,140
reward him with sex. As you should with anal. He seemed pretty excited

863
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,980
when she said anal, so. Yeah, he was. Yeah. He was like, oh, wow.

864
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:09,700
She does that for Chad. So then she's like, all right,

865
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,860
you're going to count to 10, and then you're going to come and find me.

866
00:55:13,020 --> 00:55:16,820
And he finds her without even the remotest amount

867
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,680
of work possible. He is just like. I know. It was like, this is your

868
00:55:21,180 --> 00:55:24,800
circus. And you couldn't find a better spot. Her legs are like this long.

869
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,920
So she was like, all right, I'll see you soon. And he was like,

870
00:55:28,420 --> 00:55:30,640
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. And then took three strides

871
00:55:31,140 --> 00:55:34,960
and caught her in the concession stand where she was

872
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:38,320
prepared with a vibrator that

873
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,800
she. Was it already in her ass? Yes, already in

874
00:55:42,300 --> 00:55:45,240
her ass. So this is actually four days later. Oh, yeah. This is now the

875
00:55:45,740 --> 00:55:49,380
weekend, but we're still at blurs together. Her plan was

876
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:53,420
to reward him with some anal. She was readying herself because he.

877
00:55:53,580 --> 00:55:57,180
He's a character in a book. His penis is so,

878
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:01,700
so big. So big. Yeah, he is very excited about

879
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,420
this. He bends her over the counter, pulls her pants down,

880
00:56:05,660 --> 00:56:08,900
and then she's basically standing there with

881
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:13,910
her butt in the air. He removes the vibrator,

882
00:56:14,550 --> 00:56:17,990
takes his time, goes over this thing, washes it

883
00:56:18,490 --> 00:56:22,070
thoroughly. She says, with soap and water, which I appreciate,

884
00:56:22,230 --> 00:56:25,750
but, yeah, I have to reiterate that she's literally just

885
00:56:26,250 --> 00:56:29,750
standing there with her arms on the counter and her ass in the air.

886
00:56:29,830 --> 00:56:33,910
It's not. There is no anticipation. Yeah. It is not sexy.

887
00:56:34,410 --> 00:56:37,910
It's again, like, we're experimenting. We've never done this before.

888
00:56:38,410 --> 00:56:41,970
We're not talking about it because we don't have healthy communication, so we're just winging

889
00:56:42,470 --> 00:56:45,570
it. And then she's like, oh, I don't know if I want to put that

890
00:56:46,070 --> 00:56:49,490
in my mouth or something. And he's like, what about cotton candy? Or she looks

891
00:56:49,990 --> 00:56:52,250
over at the cotton. Candy machine, and she's like, I have an idea. And then

892
00:56:52,750 --> 00:56:56,090
she walks him through making cotton candy.

893
00:56:56,410 --> 00:56:59,930
That they can put the cotton candy on the vibrator before she puts

894
00:57:00,430 --> 00:57:02,610
it. In her Mouth and then back in her butt. And then back in her

895
00:57:03,110 --> 00:57:06,900
butt. And then Fion has sex with her from behind. And apparently

896
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,980
it's mind blowing. Yeah, they're. Yeah. Crazy about each other.

897
00:57:11,020 --> 00:57:14,540
But then we skip ahead a year. One year later, one year

898
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:18,660
later. Okay. Yeah. So Theon's life has taken a little bit of a turn here

899
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,660
without Rose. He's starting to spiraling. He is spiraling. He's starting

900
00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,500
to come into his own. This is where I actually like him. Of course you

901
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,740
do. I hate a clown pretending to be somebody else. It's the fucking worst.

902
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,940
And Fion was the biggest fucking clown in this book because I don't

903
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,510
know who you were kidding. So he's decided that he is going

904
00:57:38,010 --> 00:57:41,910
to start fighting and he is the reigning champion right now. And he

905
00:57:42,410 --> 00:57:46,590
gets into a fight with another sort

906
00:57:47,090 --> 00:57:51,110
of big contender, beats him, but in the process gets

907
00:57:51,610 --> 00:57:54,790
his eye bashed in pretty badly, and he goes to the bathroom to clean it

908
00:57:55,290 --> 00:57:58,950
up. And who should approach him in the bathroom? None other than Matt,

909
00:57:59,030 --> 00:58:02,470
who is a fucking bloodhound on a scent at this point. Yes. He will

910
00:58:02,970 --> 00:58:05,820
not let it go. His wife and his children have moved to Minnesota.

911
00:58:06,140 --> 00:58:09,780
He is no longer employed, and he

912
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,900
is really just very fixated on Rose and catching Rose.

913
00:58:13,980 --> 00:58:17,260
And he now has a prosthetic eye to replace the one that he

914
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:22,140
had. And while he's interrogating Fion, Fion is basically standing

915
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:26,780
up for Rose and not giving anything away. Does anything else happen while

916
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,900
Rose was. Texting Fion and he says that he's, like, at the fight club,

917
00:58:30,060 --> 00:58:32,940
and she tells him not to break his face because she likes to sit there.

918
00:58:33,020 --> 00:58:36,400
Oh, and you liked that? And I liked that. Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was

919
00:58:36,900 --> 00:58:39,280
cute. I actually would think that that would be cute. If you, like, made him

920
00:58:39,780 --> 00:58:41,960
a lunch and then you, like, sent it in the lunch, you know, when you

921
00:58:42,460 --> 00:58:45,640
send him off the fight, you put a little note. Sure, have a good fight.

922
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:50,680
They're not together, but they're not together. So beyond

923
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,760
decide. I don't know at what point in time Rose decides

924
00:58:55,260 --> 00:58:58,200
that she's gonna basically move to Boston. Well, I think she started talking about it

925
00:58:58,700 --> 00:59:01,120
with Sloan and Lark. Yeah, she's gotten to be so close with them that when

926
00:59:01,620 --> 00:59:05,260
she's out there visiting, he's like, sounds like, well, Rowan's got

927
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,340
a place for you. It's when they're opening the new place. She's staying

928
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,980
at Lachlan's place because Lachlan. Moved in with Lars and. But Rowan

929
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,580
is going to give her a Job. Yes. Yep. He's going to give her a

930
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:19,300
job as a hostess. And there is. It's not the same circus. It's a different

931
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,700
circus. It's like a fright circus. Yes. Because it's Halloween.

932
00:59:23,020 --> 00:59:25,580
Halloween. Yes. And so basically,

933
00:59:25,740 --> 00:59:29,310
she's saying in Boston. And Fion on one of

934
00:59:29,810 --> 00:59:33,910
his trips to come out for a booty call because he doesn't have private jet

935
00:59:34,410 --> 00:59:36,990
money, but apparently he can fly out to Boston for a day so he can

936
00:59:37,490 --> 00:59:40,830
get laid. He's already deciding. He is already on

937
00:59:41,330 --> 00:59:44,630
the drive there, he's like, I think I'm gonna move to Boston and meets

938
00:59:45,130 --> 00:59:48,190
Rose and I'm gonna talk to her tonight. He tells her, I'm on my way.

939
00:59:48,690 --> 00:59:50,710
Can I pick you up? I just have some things I wanna talk about.

940
00:59:50,790 --> 00:59:54,430
Yeah. And while at her haunt, she kind

941
00:59:54,930 --> 00:59:57,790
of finishes up the night she texts me on and is like, hey, I'm just

942
00:59:58,290 --> 01:00:01,390
finishing up. And they're like, do you still want to pick me up? And he

943
01:00:01,890 --> 01:00:04,750
was like, yeah. I actually thought I was, you know, maybe gonna just kind of

944
01:00:05,250 --> 01:00:08,150
have a look around anyway. So I'm actually already here. I'm just parking. And she's

945
01:00:08,650 --> 01:00:11,750
like, perfect. Sounds good. Well, as soon as she gets off the phone,

946
01:00:11,829 --> 01:00:15,430
who should show up in her tent, of course, but Matt Cromwell.

947
01:00:15,750 --> 01:00:19,150
So he has tracked her somehow to Boston because he used

948
01:00:19,650 --> 01:00:22,630
to be a cop. Yes. So I think somehow he can, like, get.

949
01:00:22,970 --> 01:00:26,450
He has friends, because. Of course he does. Of course he

950
01:00:26,950 --> 01:00:30,970
does. The worst are so corrupt. Yes. And not

951
01:00:31,470 --> 01:00:35,170
only does he know where she is, but he discloses to Fion that

952
01:00:35,670 --> 01:00:38,570
he knows all of the men that have come to untimely deaths in all of

953
01:00:39,070 --> 01:00:42,010
the cities that the circus has been. He's correlated all the crimes to her.

954
01:00:42,090 --> 01:00:45,530
He is. He knows. And he wants to get revenge.

955
01:00:45,690 --> 01:00:48,330
He doesn't want to arrest her. He doesn't want her to go to jail.

956
01:00:48,410 --> 01:00:52,240
No. He wants his own personal kind of. Revenge because he throws

957
01:00:52,740 --> 01:00:55,880
at his wife to leave him. And so now he needs to

958
01:00:56,380 --> 01:00:59,880
kill her because he needs to control women. Yeah. Yep. That makes sense.

959
01:00:59,960 --> 01:01:03,120
So they have a little bit of a fight in

960
01:01:03,620 --> 01:01:07,600
the tent. Cranwell has a knife. Cranwell has a knife. And Rose flees

961
01:01:08,100 --> 01:01:11,200
the tent, running through the circus. Cranwell is also dressed as

962
01:01:11,700 --> 01:01:14,840
a clown. So as they're running through this, because he is a fucking clown,

963
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:18,350
as they're running through the circus, everybody just thinks that

964
01:01:18,850 --> 01:01:22,030
it's part of the act and part of the show. She ends up at the

965
01:01:22,530 --> 01:01:26,470
haunted house, which I have to go to. Why Would

966
01:01:26,970 --> 01:01:30,470
you go to the haunted house, babes? I know. What the fuck are we doing?

967
01:01:30,630 --> 01:01:34,350
What's the plan? She did not have a plan. She gets inside

968
01:01:34,850 --> 01:01:38,390
of the haunted house. While they were in the tent, she broke her chair

969
01:01:38,710 --> 01:01:41,990
over. Over his back. So all she has is the

970
01:01:42,490 --> 01:01:45,740
seat of the chair. And she comes up behind him and whacks him in

971
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,980
the back of his head. And his prosthetic eye pops out, which.

972
01:01:50,140 --> 01:01:53,420
Calls back to the very first sentence of the book. Yeah, it does.

973
01:01:53,740 --> 01:01:56,940
And I really, like, I. I have to go back to, like, this is the

974
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,540
part of the book where I started to enjoy things. Yeah. So I do want

975
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:02,700
to make that disclosure here because she literally. She yells at him to put it

976
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:06,780
back in. His eye pops out. It's so funny.

977
01:02:06,940 --> 01:02:10,180
Yeah, he's, like, trying to grab for her ankle with, like,

978
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,940
no eye in. One side, which is. I don't know if you seen a man

979
01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:17,380
with no eye. It's horrifying. Oh, I'm sure. Yeah,

980
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:21,380
it's. Oh, it is horrible. So, yeah. So he's

981
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,060
kind of like clawing at her leg. She breaks free of him

982
01:02:25,220 --> 01:02:28,540
and basically comes around a corner and bumps into fiance.

983
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,180
Literally. Yeah, yeah. And he's like, you know, oh, hey there,

984
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:36,260
you little. Little rascal. Little rascal, what you doing in here?

985
01:02:36,420 --> 01:02:39,700
You know? And she's like, oh, nothing. Like, go away, go away, go away.

986
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,900
Five more minutes. I'm still working. Five more minutes. And he's like, okay.

987
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,890
Something's like. He's. At this point in time, he's kind of starting to

988
01:02:47,390 --> 01:02:51,290
put together that there is. That nobody is safe from Rose.

989
01:02:51,530 --> 01:02:54,850
So he realizes that Matt Cromwell is chasing

990
01:02:55,350 --> 01:02:59,170
her, and they get into a scuffle and he uses

991
01:02:59,670 --> 01:03:02,490
a knife to disembowel Matt.

992
01:03:02,650 --> 01:03:06,210
Gruesome. And then in one of the rooms, they have one

993
01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:10,420
of the displays is people hanging from meat hooks. And Theon

994
01:03:10,660 --> 01:03:13,780
hangs Matt from one of the meat hooks.

995
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:18,140
Yeah. And then he and Rose kiss and

996
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,500
have sex on the bed in the room with Matt's body

997
01:03:22,900 --> 01:03:25,620
hanging from the meat hook. I know, I don't.

998
01:03:25,780 --> 01:03:29,820
Missionary. Yeah, I don't love that. But now I

999
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:32,180
feel like we could have been on a bit of a time crunch here.

1000
01:03:32,340 --> 01:03:35,960
The fair is still open. They closed down this house, but the fair

1001
01:03:36,460 --> 01:03:40,200
still open. And they break their first cardinal rule of kissing. They kiss

1002
01:03:40,700 --> 01:03:43,560
here as well. And I would love to give you more description of the scene,

1003
01:03:44,060 --> 01:03:47,720
but that's it. They get under the blankets and they have sex. And it's

1004
01:03:48,220 --> 01:03:51,479
once again, according to them, mind blowing. Mind Blowing. Yes.

1005
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:55,240
So we have that going for us.

1006
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,800
They finish up and Fiona is

1007
01:03:59,300 --> 01:04:01,120
like, rose, you have to let me help you. Like, you have to let me

1008
01:04:01,620 --> 01:04:04,380
clean this up. Get out of here. Get out of here. I just. I can't

1009
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:08,020
handle you being involved in this and whatever Theon

1010
01:04:08,100 --> 01:04:11,340
called. This is such an interesting decision. I have a note

1011
01:04:11,840 --> 01:04:14,500
as well about this. It was stupid. A stupid decision.

1012
01:04:14,980 --> 01:04:18,380
Calls Leander, Lachlan's boss.

1013
01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,500
He doesn't call his brother the cleaner, he calls Leander.

1014
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,140
Yeah. Who. We didn't talk about it, but Leander is the one who brought the

1015
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,330
boys to America. We did talk about that in the press episodes, but not in

1016
01:04:30,830 --> 01:04:33,010
this one. Yeah, we didn't. In this one, though, we don't talk about the fact

1017
01:04:33,510 --> 01:04:37,170
that when Fion killed his dad, he actually called Leander. So he knows

1018
01:04:37,670 --> 01:04:42,130
the cost of doing business with Leander. Yeah. We. We learn here that

1019
01:04:42,530 --> 01:04:45,850
not only did Theon call

1020
01:04:46,350 --> 01:04:50,690
Leander after they murdered his dad, Theon was the one who originally

1021
01:04:50,770 --> 01:04:55,030
called the Scubs. Yeah. He set his dad up his

1022
01:04:55,530 --> 01:04:59,150
dad's debt and caused his dad to get angry and spiral.

1023
01:04:59,650 --> 01:05:02,550
He thought that the thugs would take care of his dad. They did not.

1024
01:05:03,030 --> 01:05:06,430
That is what catapulted the boys to have to take

1025
01:05:06,930 --> 01:05:10,390
care of their dad. And this is where we find out as well that Theon,

1026
01:05:10,789 --> 01:05:14,630
all of his serious brooding is being caused by the fact that

1027
01:05:14,790 --> 01:05:18,710
Fion thinks that he was the one who killed his father because

1028
01:05:19,110 --> 01:05:22,180
he stabbed his father in the back,

1029
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:26,020
in the spine, immediately before Lachlan

1030
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:30,740
wrapped the belt around his neck to choke him. And Leander knows

1031
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:34,540
all of those details and absolutely uses them as leverage

1032
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:38,700
against Fion to convince him that he's going to clean this job up

1033
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:42,540
for him. It's not going to cost him any money, but that Theon will

1034
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:46,830
need to go to Croatia for seven months to do a job of

1035
01:05:47,330 --> 01:05:50,950
unknown work and with absolutely

1036
01:05:51,450 --> 01:05:54,990
zero contact with anybody, including his brothers and including Rose

1037
01:05:55,230 --> 01:05:58,630
and Fiona Grace. Yep. Because he's a

1038
01:05:59,130 --> 01:06:01,470
big, dumb duck. This was dumb. He has to be a martyr. He has to

1039
01:06:01,970 --> 01:06:05,830
be saving somebody. I didn't like this either. Yeah. I really think

1040
01:06:06,330 --> 01:06:10,110
that I enjoyed this version of him much more

1041
01:06:10,610 --> 01:06:13,240
than I enjoyed the first version of him.

1042
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:17,960
I just think it's interesting, like, this is such a good example of when

1043
01:06:18,460 --> 01:06:22,520
you pretend for too long to be somebody else. The way that you literally

1044
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:26,640
spiral into oblivion when you start to embrace yourself.

1045
01:06:27,140 --> 01:06:31,360
Because that's what's happening here, Right? He is literally spiraling and just with

1046
01:06:31,860 --> 01:06:35,080
absolutely no foothold. I Mean, he is a mess.

1047
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,040
So then he gets back to Lachlan's and breaks up with Rose, basically. Rose is

1048
01:06:39,540 --> 01:06:42,830
devastated. She's sobbing. They go to bed that night,

1049
01:06:43,330 --> 01:06:46,270
she wakes up the next morning, she tries to leave the house. This is where

1050
01:06:46,750 --> 01:06:49,910
she and Lark have coffee. And the scene that

1051
01:06:50,410 --> 01:06:53,870
we got between her and Lark in leather and Lark, that is this scene.

1052
01:06:54,590 --> 01:06:59,070
Lark gets kidnapped. As we know, Fion had

1053
01:06:59,570 --> 01:07:03,590
gone to pick up Rose from the coffee date with Lark

1054
01:07:04,090 --> 01:07:07,270
because she had left her tarot deck behind, which is giving like

1055
01:07:07,770 --> 01:07:11,350
grandma was trying to set them up. Yes. Vibes. And he

1056
01:07:11,850 --> 01:07:15,230
gets the phone call. They. We all know what happens. He goes

1057
01:07:15,730 --> 01:07:19,190
to. They go to Lark with Lachlan, they find the dog beyond,

1058
01:07:19,690 --> 01:07:23,750
takes the dog to the vet, meets up at the industrial bakery where they discover

1059
01:07:24,250 --> 01:07:27,630
that Rose has been stabbed. She's in the hospital. In the midst of all of

1060
01:07:28,130 --> 01:07:31,550
this, Leander is like, you have a contract with me. I don't care what's going

1061
01:07:32,050 --> 01:07:35,550
on. At 9pm you're getting on a fucking plane and you're coming to Croatia.

1062
01:07:36,050 --> 01:07:39,710
Which he does. He leaves a letter for Rose at that time and

1063
01:07:40,210 --> 01:07:43,630
then he goes radio silent for seven

1064
01:07:44,130 --> 01:07:48,109
months, basically. And Lark somehow knew that

1065
01:07:48,609 --> 01:07:51,870
Leander was involved in and she got

1066
01:07:52,370 --> 01:07:55,830
the details out of him with the guarantee that she wasn't going to

1067
01:07:56,330 --> 01:07:59,830
tell Lachlan. Which she doesn't. Which she doesn't. But she tells

1068
01:08:00,330 --> 01:08:04,510
Sloane and Sloane at the hospital gives Theon an address

1069
01:08:05,070 --> 01:08:08,990
for him to send mail to so that he can get communication

1070
01:08:09,150 --> 01:08:12,630
to Rose through Sloane. Yeah, I don't

1071
01:08:13,130 --> 01:08:16,190
like that. I honestly think this whole ending, it didn't need to happen.

1072
01:08:16,350 --> 01:08:20,110
No, he didn't need to leave. This whole book was drama and

1073
01:08:20,610 --> 01:08:23,430
we didn't need this. Yeah, see, and I would have been happy if we had

1074
01:08:23,930 --> 01:08:27,320
skipped some of the early drama and just had this interesting, because I

1075
01:08:27,820 --> 01:08:31,520
do actually like this next part. So the whole purpose of them being in the

1076
01:08:32,020 --> 01:08:35,280
car together was that Fion was returning her tarot deck and after her accident,

1077
01:08:35,780 --> 01:08:38,440
he didn't get the opportunity to return it to her. So he finishes up his

1078
01:08:38,940 --> 01:08:42,320
seven month contract, moves back home. In the midst of all of this,

1079
01:08:42,720 --> 01:08:46,280
Rose has been discharged from the hospital. She's gone

1080
01:08:46,780 --> 01:08:50,440
back to working for the circus. She is performing regularly

1081
01:08:50,940 --> 01:08:54,200
again. She's feeling very disconnected from her life at this

1082
01:08:54,700 --> 01:08:58,220
point and all of a sudden starts rece mail

1083
01:08:58,300 --> 01:09:02,140
one a week with a tarot card and a love letter

1084
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,180
from. Yeah, I did like this. I love this.

1085
01:09:05,900 --> 01:09:09,500
I adored this. Yeah, so much. Each week

1086
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,940
she gets a new Letter. She gets a new card. It takes about two months

1087
01:09:13,440 --> 01:09:16,700
for her to get all of the cards. And her last letter

1088
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:20,860
from him basically, is, I'm, you know, I know where

1089
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,060
you are. I'm going to be about a half an hour away at a

1090
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:29,260
little resort, at a cafe. Come and meet. I'm gonna be there every

1091
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,460
day waiting for you. So I'm. I'm so obsessed. Yeah, I did

1092
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,020
like that, too. And I'm obsessed with this from start out because she shows up

1093
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:40,940
and then they basically just spend, like, a couple of weeks

1094
01:09:41,180 --> 01:09:45,420
just together, just healing and talking

1095
01:09:45,740 --> 01:09:48,940
and, like, doing all of the things that they should have done from the beginning.

1096
01:09:49,100 --> 01:09:52,790
When. I love that, you know, I love. I eat that up.

1097
01:09:53,290 --> 01:09:57,230
Yeah. So I really loved that. And the

1098
01:09:57,790 --> 01:10:02,590
last bit of this book here is basically them

1099
01:10:02,670 --> 01:10:06,430
just being totally in love. And then we get two epilogues.

1100
01:10:06,910 --> 01:10:10,550
Yes, we do. And I'm so curious about what you think of

1101
01:10:11,050 --> 01:10:13,950
them. So. Not the first one. I don't care about what you think of the

1102
01:10:14,450 --> 01:10:16,430
first one. You know what I think about the first one. It was a nice.

1103
01:10:16,930 --> 01:10:19,670
And it was from Rowan's perspective, which I thought was interesting. They all meet up

1104
01:10:20,170 --> 01:10:23,950
at a cabin and Theon proposes. Yeah. Except that Rowan. The whole

1105
01:10:24,110 --> 01:10:27,750
opening to this is that Rowan has dressed like a monster from

1106
01:10:28,250 --> 01:10:32,110
one of Sloane's monster porn books. Yeah. And is going

1107
01:10:32,610 --> 01:10:35,870
to chase her through the woods. And they end up at, like, a barn party.

1108
01:10:36,270 --> 01:10:40,190
And he's stuck. Yeah. Because they're doing another challenge and he

1109
01:10:40,690 --> 01:10:44,430
can't get out and go into the barn to get the murderer because

1110
01:10:44,930 --> 01:10:48,390
he's dressed like a monster, full scale and everything.

1111
01:10:48,950 --> 01:10:52,630
And then they, like, get back to the cabin where Lachlan and Lark

1112
01:10:53,130 --> 01:10:56,230
are already waiting. And Lachlan is like, what is on you? Like,

1113
01:10:56,730 --> 01:10:59,190
why is it not coming off? And it turns out that it's like he mixed

1114
01:10:59,690 --> 01:11:02,710
it with, like, regular paint. And so. Yeah. Permanent. And. Oh, my God,

1115
01:11:03,750 --> 01:11:07,550
the whole time, like. Someone is like, she knows how badly he wanted

1116
01:11:08,050 --> 01:11:10,230
to. He's like, all I wanted to do is chase my wife through the woods

1117
01:11:10,730 --> 01:11:14,520
and her. Like, it's like, I. Yes. I lived

1118
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,480
for that. Epilogue. And it was nice. They're all back together.

1119
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,640
Yeah. So great. Yeah. Lachlan cries, which I

1120
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,480
love that. Lachlan and roses like, little bond.

1121
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:30,600
I love it. Yeah. Because he feels so much guilt about letting her

1122
01:11:31,100 --> 01:11:34,280
get hurt because beyond specifically told him, take care,

1123
01:11:34,920 --> 01:11:38,570
and then she almost died. Yeah. It. Yeah,

1124
01:11:39,070 --> 01:11:42,130
it was nice. Serious one. Then we have another epilogue. Epilogue. What was the second

1125
01:11:42,630 --> 01:11:46,730
epilogue? The second epilogue is from the perspective of an unknown woman who's

1126
01:11:47,230 --> 01:11:50,810
watching them. Yes. Interesting. Okay, I.

1127
01:11:51,050 --> 01:11:54,570
You don't like this. I was so excited about this.

1128
01:11:54,730 --> 01:11:58,410
I so perspective. An unknown woman. She's just watching them and she's

1129
01:11:58,910 --> 01:12:02,770
thinking about how much she envies Sloan and she

1130
01:12:03,270 --> 01:12:06,810
wants to be just like Sloan. And then she says her name is Autumn Bauer

1131
01:12:07,310 --> 01:12:10,880
and Harvey killed her. Love, Adam. So now she

1132
01:12:11,380 --> 01:12:14,680
is still wearing the shirt that gave her. Yeah.

1133
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,360
Sets up for another story for another trilogy or whatnot.

1134
01:12:18,440 --> 01:12:22,600
Which is great. But this girl was so fucking annoying

1135
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,760
in that book. Yeah. This is the one that was screaming yes. And now.

1136
01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:31,000
Yeah. She's evolved so much that she's going to be

1137
01:12:31,500 --> 01:12:35,080
a killer herself too. I loved it because it was. I was not expecting it.

1138
01:12:35,340 --> 01:12:38,700
I was not either. Yeah. And I think that was my favorite part about it.

1139
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,860
I love a little surprise. So I can't wait. I'll read them all. She has

1140
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:46,380
another trilogy coming out or another book at least coming out in like August.

1141
01:12:46,620 --> 01:12:49,820
I tagged you in it and I can't wait for that. Oh, yes,

1142
01:12:50,140 --> 01:12:53,900
yes. That looks so good. And then we get the bonus chapter,

1143
01:12:54,460 --> 01:12:57,820
which I didn't even write down, but it's. They have

1144
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:02,260
the sex wing. Remember Rose finishes the Intersect swing.

1145
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:05,840
Yeah. And they use the sex wing. Yeah. And it's literally like a two page

1146
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,280
scene. So. Yeah, it's not. Yeah, it's not that exciting.

1147
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,640
I never recap the sex scenes anyways because then I blush.

1148
01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:16,760
Yeah. But that's the end. Yeah. So I loved

1149
01:13:17,260 --> 01:13:20,720
it. Now let's rate it. Oh, my God.

1150
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,200
Yeah. We've talked a little bit about Bryn in the past. I will say that

1151
01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:28,080
even though I didn't particularly like these characters, I still.

1152
01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:31,860
Stan Brynn Weaver. I think she's still storyteller. Yeah,

1153
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,980
she really is. I mean, I still will give her all of the props in

1154
01:13:36,480 --> 01:13:39,740
the world. You can find more information about her online if you want

1155
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,980
to learn about her other series or learn about her in any way. She's very

1156
01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:46,820
active on social media. She posts TikTok, she reposts a lot. Check her out.

1157
01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:50,340
He is so great. We also want to, of course, thank.

1158
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:54,780
Pago because we're back here today. Yeah. We're recording

1159
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:59,400
at Peggles. Yeah. We got kicked out of our other spot that

1160
01:13:59,900 --> 01:14:03,440
we normally record at and so we had to find somewhere else. And Pagel

1161
01:14:03,940 --> 01:14:07,280
so graciously let us set up. Yeah. We had to thank her for just all

1162
01:14:07,780 --> 01:14:12,000
of her hard work. Yeah. Let's jump in. And ratings spice

1163
01:14:12,500 --> 01:14:15,600
level. I'm going to Give this a solid one. And we

1164
01:14:16,100 --> 01:14:19,040
are. We should say that we will be, like, very, very soon. And it'll be

1165
01:14:19,540 --> 01:14:22,640
on our website, it'll be on our social media. We're redefining our.

1166
01:14:23,140 --> 01:14:25,880
They'll stay the same categories for the most part, but we're going to redefine them

1167
01:14:26,380 --> 01:14:29,540
because we've noticed, as have probably all of you, we overlap.

1168
01:14:30,340 --> 01:14:33,980
Yeah. So spice level. I would give it. And I usually

1169
01:14:34,480 --> 01:14:37,780
have this one early, so now I think I'd

1170
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,820
give it a three. Okay. Yeah, there's. Yeah, I think I give it

1171
01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:45,660
a three. I think that in our sort of rebranding of it,

1172
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:50,020
we talked a lot about, like, how graphic. And I don't

1173
01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:54,100
feel like this particular book was as

1174
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:56,450
graphic. The anal in.

1175
01:14:58,290 --> 01:15:01,330
Verity is a one. They have, what,

1176
01:15:01,810 --> 01:15:05,650
three sex scenes. Two of them are missionary, one is under the covers.

1177
01:15:05,890 --> 01:15:09,130
1 and 1. Instead of talking about the sex scene, they talk

1178
01:15:09,630 --> 01:15:12,610
about washing off the vibrator and making cotton candy. So I'm gonna stick with my

1179
01:15:13,110 --> 01:15:16,050
one. Oh, my God. I can't. Okay. I'm gonna have a three. Confidently.

1180
01:15:16,550 --> 01:15:19,810
Okay. Frequency. I feel like I know where you're going. Frequency. I would give it

1181
01:15:20,310 --> 01:15:23,210
a two. I'll give it a three. Pros. I would give it a five.

1182
01:15:23,710 --> 01:15:27,210
Always a five. Storyline. I'm gonna give it a three.

1183
01:15:27,370 --> 01:15:30,450
I'm gonna give it a four and a half. Just because there were things that

1184
01:15:30,950 --> 01:15:34,010
I didn't. I think, like I said, I think we could have done without some

1185
01:15:34,510 --> 01:15:37,609
things. There were some choices that I didn't love. I just don't.

1186
01:15:37,690 --> 01:15:41,370
I think that for me, what it is, is I don't enjoy in

1187
01:15:41,870 --> 01:15:46,010
any capacity, thinking about getting caught. Yeah. I just don't enjoy

1188
01:15:46,170 --> 01:15:49,760
that. That is something for me, that is for sure. And it's

1189
01:15:50,260 --> 01:15:53,160
not for me. And I really, really liked that about the first two books is

1190
01:15:53,660 --> 01:15:56,880
that there was. We never once talked about police,

1191
01:15:57,380 --> 01:16:00,240
about FBI. They don't even consider it.

1192
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:04,000
And the cleaning up of the crime scene is like, throw in.

1193
01:16:04,160 --> 01:16:07,120
Throw up in the bowl, you idiot. Like, it's.

1194
01:16:07,620 --> 01:16:11,600
There's. Second idiot. It's so unserious. Yeah. And I

1195
01:16:12,100 --> 01:16:15,010
just don't. I think that I've been able this. Thank you so much for doing

1196
01:16:15,510 --> 01:16:18,410
this podcast with me because I can narrow that down. Yeah, I enjoy that.

1197
01:16:18,910 --> 01:16:22,410
Yeah. So overall. Overall, I'm gonna give it a three and a half. Yeah,

1198
01:16:22,910 --> 01:16:25,610
I'm giving it a five. I loved this book.

1199
01:16:26,170 --> 01:16:28,890
If you like the books that I've liked, I think you'll really like this book.

1200
01:16:29,390 --> 01:16:32,890
Yeah. So all right. Well, thanks for joining us.

1201

01:16:37,130 --> 01:16:40,450
We're not sure how often, but we'll get there. Yeah. We'll figure it out.

1203
01:16:40,950 --> 01:16:43,400
We'll let you know. We're getting there. We're getting there.

1204
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,360
Yeah. We are probably going to take

1205
01:16:47,860 --> 01:16:51,640
some seasonal breaks. Yeah. I think forward. So that I have time to,

1206
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:55,400
you. Know, be a mother or whatever. Yeah. Do things that I

1207
01:16:55,900 --> 01:16:59,040
have to do. So. All right. Well, thanks for joining us.

1208
01:16:59,540 --> 01:17:03,240
And join us next time. I'm Amanda. I'm Nicole. And we are Plot
