Bad Machinery by John Allison for July 31, 2019

You’re hooked, me beauty.

When he dumps her, she will be shattered. Then she will shatter him.

It could be a possibility. I like it.

The plot sickens

He can’t have Blossom; she is mine.

Wow. Never seen her so happy before, but that’s great!

That does mean that Darren absolutely HAS to stay in line now, because if he does anything to hurt her…well, let’s be honest with ourselves. She will END him if that happens. :P

If the overall situation was different I’d be happy to see Blossom get a little sweetness in her life. She’s been unhappy for a long time.

But there’s so much possibility for tragedy here…

If anyone needs me, I’ll be doing what I usually do at weddings: waging war on my liver and comparing my life with everyone else’s, then drinking some more and repeating, until 1) I end up in the bathroom with a mildly attractive distant cousin, 2) I get into a fight with that guest from that city whose football team I don’t like, or 3) I black out and wake up in Wales next to a faerie circle.

Hey, if your up against a loan shark it good to have Muscle on your side.

Darren just needs the love of a good woman (okay, girl) to get him on the straight and narrow. If she’s capable of beating the stuffing out of the loan shark’s heavies, so much the better.

You’re all forgetting something here.

Dan, the new daddy/husband, tears out copper piping with his bare hands.

Don’t you think that might have some bearing on what happens in the near future here?
