“I’m not gonna punch a cripple.”
“I really wish people would stop calling me that.”
“Rain check for when you’re healthy?”

CHAPTERNINETEEN

“Goddammit!” I exclaim when the battery I was carrying across the garage slips out of my hands. It hits my knee on the way to the ground, then rolls down into the fucking pit.
“You okay, man?” Jordan asks when he comes into the garage to check on me.

“So what? Go ahead and say it,” I huff as I take a seat on one of the rolling stools.
“I’ve never seen you get so emotional.”
“Fuck off.”
