Reflexive tense forms make more sense to me now, reflexive forms are used a lot in this book. I hope you're enjoying the dry language learner's perspective on a romance novel so far.

I've noticed that the chapters without NSFW bits are much shorter than the chapters with NSFW bits. As mundane as it sounds, I've enjoyed the "vanilla" chapters too because as I've probably said before, it uses every day language.

I still think the boss guy is a bit weird though.
