Alyssa made him feel like he had a life ahead of him.

Back then, before all that went down, he was convinced Alyssa was who he should have been with all along.

Alyssa Grant. She was Wayne’s long-time mistress when he was married to Melinda. When it all blew up, Alyssa dumped him and Melinda divorced him.
Back then, before all that went down, he was convinced Alyssa was who he should have been with all along — figuratively, as Alyssa would have been fourteen when he married Melinda — Alyssa was twentyish when he met her — he loved Alyssa more than anything. It was how he felt with Melinda those first couple years, before marriage and dulldom and the girls came along. Alyssa made him feel like he had a life ahead of him.

Craving sin was just as much a sin as committing it

He’d be able to afford a proper wedding and a home on a farm, and he could build a life with her, a godly life.

Craving sin was just as much a sin as committing it. Sin occurs in the heart first. It then infects the real world. So a Godly man must stop it before it can leave his heart.
Besides, he had a woman whose love was real. Her name was Daisy Mae Lovejoy, and her daddy owned a apple orchard next to the Turnip farm. It was his love for her that led Jeb to take this job in Remote, Alaska.
It paid well, and he’d have enough when he returned home to propose to Daisy Mae. He’d be able to afford a proper wedding and a home on a farm, and he could build a life with her, a godly life.

Mr. Gregarian said that was how he wanted his boys raised

Mr. Gregarian only wanted his daughter Miriam to live up to the expectations of Armenian Orthodox Christianity. He wanted his sons to pretend to.

Mr. Gregarian wanted his children to go to church, to follow the priest’s diktats, to live up to scripture. That meant no premarital sex or even kissing. Mr. Gregarian said that was how he wanted his boys raised. But Simon’s older brother Haykh had been fucking women since high school.
A man should fuck women before marriage. He should feel bad about it, he should keep it from his parents, he should hide it from polite society, but he should be too amative to resist. That was a proper man. Mr. Gregarian only wanted his daughter Miriam to live up to the expectations of Armenian Orthodox Christianity. He wanted his sons to pretend to.

Lace-fried fluff

Must everything be castrated down to parasitic orchids, soft edges and understated wallpaper?

He had no desire for a wife. They were bugles of demands and desires, like mosquitoes with envy, interested only in trifles and bĂȘtises, lace-fried fluff and delicate whispers of sotto voce gossip. Must everything be castrated down to parasitic orchids, soft edges and understated wallpaper?

She be out flippin’ her pussy at any man with dollahs to spare!

This bitch would fall in love wit’ me if we met, and you know I would put it to her good. She look like she know things, you get me.

“This bitch would fall in love wit’ me if we met, and you know I would put it to her good. She look like she know things, you get me, you can feel it coming outta her,” Lem said vociferously. Despite that, he didn’t even show the magazine to them, he just kept talking about the woman in it. He seemed to have forgotten that he started talking about her to compare her to the prostitute at the brothel in town where the roughnecks got leave but now was talking about her in her own right. “I wouldn’t settle down wit’ her though. She don’t look like a one-man kinda woman, bet on it. She be out flippin’ her pussy at any man with dollahs to spare! Believe that!”
