― J. Bree, Broken Bonds

‍

― J. Bree, Broken Bonds

‍

6. “You said we were friends… well, this is what friends do, Oli. When you didn’t answer the phone, I had to be sure that you weren’t taken. This is what friendship with me looks like, take it or leave it.”

― J. Bree, Broken Bonds

‍

7. “Those opinions of yours tell me I did the right thing, and I’m not pissed about it. You can hate me all you like because at least you’re fucking breathing, Gryphon. Please leave, I’m still exhausted from the healing and I can’t do this right now.”
