Thoughts 

This was heartbreak and pain but also so sweet and crazy. I absolutely adore these two characters together, I love that we get to see how their relationship blossomed, which made the heartbreak of it all falling apart even more painful. I just want to scream at them to communicate with each other. I hope Chris and Bernadette die slow and painful deaths in the end, this better be an HEA. 

Best bits

“I love dancing in the dark. When I’m surrounded by carnage, which is often, it’s peaceful - an escape. I enjoy mentally vanishing from existence, even if only for a moment.” 

“No one fucks Stacey and gets away with it. I can’t have her, but nobody else will.”

“The anchor who broke me.”

“I fucking dare you.” 🥵

“When I find out who hurt you, I’m going to fucking destroy them. I’ll make sure to bleed them dry then fuck you next to their corpse l. You got that?”

“I just said we were a thing, and she hasn’t corrected me. That’s a positive, right?”

💦🔫🥵

“I’m not asking, Freckles. You’re going on a date with me.” 

His confession to her in Latvian 😭

Fuck Bernadette 😡

“Is my Freckles jealous?” 

His 💀 attempt broke me 

“I think I’m falling in love with Stacey Rhodes.” 

“At least I got to kiss her.”
