When I enter the bratty-girlfriend and down-bad-boyfriend competition but Savannah and Rohan show up
tbg spoilers
“And you doubtlessly agreed,” Savannah continued mercilessly, “because heaven forbid you have to rely on a promise from me.”
Rohan had relied on Savannah’s promise—when he’d given her his dice.
“And what will you give me in return, love?”
“The opportunity to prove that your word is worth something, to prove that you are capable of seeing a deal through to the end.”
“In exchange for doing what you want me to do,” Rohan summarized, “you will give me the opportunity to prove… that I can do what you want me to do?”
“That sums it up. Yes.”
...
“Nonetheless,” Rohan continued, “you have my word.”
“We should be halfway to England by now.” Savannah addressed those words to Rohan like it was his fault and only his fault that they weren’t.
"Patience, love."
Trying to hear both sides of the conversation, love? Rohan kicked up his pace a notch, but he gave Savannah something to listen to on his side of the conversation, at least.
the moment he crossed the threshold of the shack, he found himself slammed back against the wall.
“We have to quit meeting like this,” Rohan quipped.
“You have to stop,” Savannah said.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Savannah asked
. “Arming you,” Rohan replied, “as best I can. Now take off your jacket and slip your shirt down, baring your left shoulder.”
"the girl" "the boy", both were somewhat given permission by their mother for an evil man to do horrible stuff to them, killed said evil man at a young age, suppress their trauma, followed their mother's words of so-called advice (pretend that it isn't happening to you, whatever you do my beautiful boy don't cry) in a way that their mother abhorred, and thus push people away because of their mother and said evil man
WOW I am SO happy to read about gigi and savannah standing next to slate and rohan from AVERY's pov and NOT AT ALL wanted to actually read about their relationships after 8 months from THEIR OWN pov cuz yk if I'm not wrong I kinda feel like this series was called THE GRANDEST GAME sooo maybeee it had to be about THE GRANDEST GAME CHARACTERS but anyways them STANDING next to each other is SO romantic🥹🥹
rip dean redding bc in killer instinct his grand punishment was to share a room with michael for a couple days but then in twelve he shared a dorm room with michael for MONTHS
savannah "doesn't believe in forgiveness" grayson telling rohan to make her an offer and her counteroffer being as simple as proving himself worthy of her trust that he'd broken before and in doing so gave him a second chance
