“Our flesh may ache for this, our foolish hearts may want it too, but you and I… were like sharks passing in the sea, only I hunger for the scent of dolphin blood in the water while your snout wants to taste turtle.“

Yes, Geraldine thinks the same way as she speaks.

In the main series, Max is the most emotionally intelligent of the heirs, but in this novella that doesn’t come through. Perhaps when he thinks of Geraldine and his own love life he doesn’t know how to act! If he just showed more kindness to the Vega twins, Geraldine would be his. But he can’t seem to work that out.
