It was one of those decisions that shouldn't have been so easy to get so wrong. Go on your own or take the half wasted waif. She was wearing denim hotpants with a pink vest top, and was hanging off his arm, more for stability than closeness, so he propped her up against the wall next to the counter and reached inside his coat pocket for his badge. It was definitely his badge, he clearly remembered stealing it two years before whilst in California. .Dylan Perry
About This Quote
The phrase, “It was one of those decisions that shouldn't have been so easy to get so wrong” is a rather complicated metaphor. It begins with a story about a decision that should have been simple, but ended up being something much more complex. Then it ends with a reference to a person who was hanging off someone’s arm, but not in a sexual way. In fact, the metaphor implies that the person hanging off this person’s arm was unstable and dangerous.
