Spite Quote by J.R. Lenk
““Know this, Hazard,” he edged out, ignoring Hazard’s enthusiastic glare. “I’ll kick your ass if you piss me off any more.” Jesse paused, as if imagining the scene, then added with childish spite, “Oh, and I’ll laugh too.” “Give me a cigarette burn while you’re at it?” “Just shut up. Your attempt at sarcasm makes me want to barf.” “Good, I’m glad.””
