[He's not. He doesn't trust that Chloe has the best taste in the world (none of them did), but he trusts she wouldn't waste her time with a guy she didn't see anything in. Sure, temporary stuff, but not for anything long-term.
Of course, saying he's like the kid... it doesn't mean much to him either. He knows for a fact the Nate he knows is not the Nate she knows. Twenty years. To him, Nate's just... a screwed up kid, a charity case if he's unkind. A surprising talent if he's not. Tougher than he should be. But to her? He doesn't know. A good enough man to endear Chloe to him and to Sully, too. That's... something.]
Still, you can't deny, he's not as sweet to me. Someday you'll have to tell me what the hell crawled up his ass.
[Flirting doesn't seem to cover it. If Cutter hated everyone who flirted with Chloe he'd probably have tried to punch the whole damn world int he face by this point.]
