. People Are Always Going To Regret Him And He Tries To Act Like It Doesn't Hurt. But Hearing Her Of

𝖠𝗇𝖽 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗋𝖾 𝗂𝗍 𝗂𝗌. People are always going to regret him and he tries to act like it doesn't hurt. But hearing her of all people say it, it cuts like a fucking knife. Right into the back, to the heart. Hell, to the throat.

Staring down Cassandra his eyes are hard, but hurt as his chest rises and falls slowly.

❝ Maybe you should have.❞ he told her, though his voice quivers in the idea of agreeing with it. He hates it but he forces himself to say it. ❝ You want to go? Go. No one is stopping you. ❞ but he doesn't want too. He wants her to stay, he wants her to look at him and realize that maybe there is something worth trying to fight for.

There has to be, right..?

DREW STARKEY in UP THE HILL (2016)

A serial killer is conventionally defined as a person who murders three or more people in a period of over a month, with a “cooling down” time between murders.

...So... Ward Cameron is a serial killer.

If she wants him all to herself - he'll accept it. He doesn't need the boys approval. Hell, even if Topper were to talk shit about this situation Rafe would have a few things to say about it. He's happy with his arms around her like this.

❝ I love you too.❞ he replies as he nuzzles against her hand.

The boys can shut up, they don't know Rafe like she does. They don't really know him at all. Maybe if they gave him a chance. . . But then again, she wanted him all to herself. . . "I do." She smiles and kisses him again. "And you're my guy, who I love." A gentle hand rests upon his cheek as she looks up at him. "I love you."

𝖧𝖾 𝗅𝗂𝗄𝖾𝗌 𝗂𝗍 𝗐𝗁𝖾𝗇 𝗍𝗁𝖾𝗒'𝗋𝖾 𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾, 𝗍𝗈𝗈, he can then drop the façade and simply be with her. When they're with his friends the mask comes out and stays on until they're alone again. He chuckles though as he leans his head back. ❝ I agree. They can be a bit...❞ there are some words he does want to say about Ruthie but he keeps them to himself.❝ But now it's just us, we don't have to think about them.❞

"Hmm." Sofia shrugs. "I wish I knew what to say, Rafe. I like us better when we're not hanging around your friends. They can be a little bit of a pill to swallow sometimes." Especially Ruthie, and Topper when they're together? God. . .

So I'm rewatching OBX before the new season.

Ward, takes responsibility for what Rafe did AS HE SHOULD because Ward is a huge ass part of the reason why Rafe is like he is and then we have Rose.

" You do not bare responsibility for what Rafe does." No no, you're right, Rose. YOU should bare some of that shit too. Wanna know why? Because something tells me you are just as harsh, just as belittling, just as much of a bitch to Rafe as his own father has been. I bet you didn't even try to act like a mother figure, you just ridiculed all the kids for even breathing. You don't give me nurturing step-mom vibes. You give me "I'm here because the husband is hot and he's got money" vibes. You are a trophy wife who gets the benefits of a trophy wife and the kids? They ain't your problem so you ain't going to do shit that would require you to be proactive.

Not unless it benefits your botoxed ass. Clearly with her telling Ward how he has to play a part here she's probably more of a mastermind than Ward.

Ward is still a piece of shit though. Both of them suck.

... Am I saying Rafe isn't to blame? Naw, there is blame on his part as well of course. But he is clearly a case of nature verses nurture and he was not nurtured.
