Neil Josten is out of time. He knew when he came to PSU he wouldn't survive the year, but with his death right around the corner he's got more reasons than ever to live. Befriending the Foxes was inadvisable. Kissing one is unthinkable. Neil should know better than to get involved with anyone this close to the end, but Andrew's never been the easiest person to walk away from. If they both say it doesn't mean anything, maybe Neil won't regret losing it, but the one person Neil can't lie to is himself. He's got promises to keep and a team to get to championships if he can just outrun Riko a little longer, but Riko's not the only monster in Neil's life. The truth might get them all killed--or be Neil's one shot at getting out of this alive.

The King's Men

The fate of being the one who looks out for everyone else.

"You spend all this time watching our backs," Neil said. "Who's watching yours? Don't say you are, because you and I both know you take shit care of yourself."

Leonie

"Is your learning curve a horizontal line?"

"I've never had friends before. I don't know how this works. I'm trying, but it's going to take time."

"Trying to remember fear, or trying to remember how to feel anything at all?"

Can this book please stop breaking my heart? Hear me out, I reached the level of desperation where even I started to crave some romance and cute moments 🥺

"Ninety percent of the time the very sight of you makes me want to commit murder. I think about carving the skin from your body and hanging it out as a warning to every other fool who thinks he can stand in my way."

Why waste time and energy, right? 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Neil weighed all the possible responses to that and settled on the simplest: "Fuck you."

Disguising threats as jokes always works 🌝

"A clear shot at [him] and no witnesses," Neil said. 

Matt grinned like he thought Neil was joking and left.

No one could let go of that much rage that easily; Andrew had simply buried it where it could hurt only him.

"I care about who you are right now and who you can be going forward. I'm not asking you to forget your past, but I am telling you to overcome it."

"A man can only have so many issues," Andrew said. "It is just a key." 

"You're a foster child. You know it isn't."
