Practicality sealed it: he made a mediocre cup of tea, but he was fantastic at finding other people’s dirty little funtime secrets.

[odd_echoes]

"dirty little funtime secrets" sound way more interesting than just the standard "dirty little secrets" haha. Makes me wonder what kinda funtime secrets he's finding.

[delphi]

Oh, just some magazines and...accoutrements. :D

[odd_echoes]

🤭 accoutrements is such a great word.

[wandering_fox]

A very specific kind of dirty little secret!

[delphi]

Precisely!

[odd_echoes]

There was something about the way that Arlo had said the words, the way he’d moved in close like he was going to tell Woods a secret

[wandering_fox]

That's a nice description. I can see exactly how he spoke.

[chromatic_crow]

oh I love the movement in this sentence, it paints such a vivid picture

[delphi]

That is such a great image.

"I have no reason to work in secret."

"Then there is no reason to be annoyed that I brought it up at the general meeting."

"I'm not annoyed," he snapped in a decidedly annoyed tone.

[delphi]

That last line got a legit laugh from me.

[odd_echoes]

"I'm not annoyed" - the most annoyed person in the world

[chromatic_crow]

Some guys just wanted a quick fuck, for it to be kept a secret despite more than half the guys being able to smell it on them and that was it.

[delphi]

Ooh, I really like this.

[odd_echoes]

oooh, those are some interesting secrets indeed.

[linky]

I really love this line!
