21 " Two motorcycles rumble in behind me and park in open spots. It's Pigpen and Dust. They're part of the volunteers tailing me and Violet until we're safe. "
― Katie McGarry , Long Way Home (Thunder Road, #3)
22 " I already texted Pigpen and Dust and they're heading with us. "
23 " And if by some miracle he did manage to start the truck, Pigpen and Dust would stand around it like human cement pillars. "
24 " I love you. I always have, always will. I understand the promises you’re talking about and I understand why you can’t make them, but I’m going to make a promise to you. No matter which way this plays out, I promise to love you and do my best to make sure whatever path we go down together or separately will be the one that hurts you the least. "
25 " Pigpen and Dust have already told me, multiple times, that lots of brothers are ready and willing to buy me as many beers as I can drink tonight, tomorrow night, forever. "
26 " You could have come to me,” he says in a voice barely above a mumble. “I understand why none ofyou went to Eli. He feels too much, loves you all too much. But I don’t understand why you didn’t come to me. "
27 " I promise I'll protect you now. I won't let them touch you again. " "I know you'll try." I can do more than try. "
28 " Took her [Ms. Whitlock] long enough to grade it." He mumbles.True. "But it took us forever to turn it in. She didn't have to accept it was from, she didn't have to let us write it together and she didn't have to give us an A-plus, but she did. "
29 " Pigpen and Dust chuckle, but the rest of the patrons take an intense interest in their food or menu. "
30 " Pigpen and Dust lent a hand. "
31 " I don’t care if she [Ms. Whitlock] knows I love Breanna. Besides, the lady hates me and probably won’t read it anyhow. "
32 " I don't care if she [Ms. Whitlock] knows I love Breanna. Besides, the lady hates me and probably won't read it anyhow. "
33 " There's this guy in my club, Pigpen. He's about the same age as Ms. Whitlock, late twenties, and he's a walking hard-on for this woman even though she would never give him the time of day. He practically runs into walls when she's around because he's too focused on checking her out. "
34 " Pigpen pushes off the wall. "Won't be far."Which means he'll be outside the door, standing guard. "
35 " The nurses are pissed Pigpen gave me a fresh pair of jeans and a T-shirt to change into. "
36 " ...Pigpen's currently sitting on as he drinks a beer.He's been Violet's shadow since Eli left town with Cyrus a few days ago. "
37 " Kittens and clowns don't make sense to me anymore. "
38 " That's my dysfunction in the hallway. "
39 " Ms. Whitlock stands in front of her desk in her patented white button-down shirt, gray pencil skirt and dark-rimmed glasses. "
40 " I'm not a tail-tucked-between-my-legs type of guy, but this lady is one of the few that can reduce me to begging. "
