I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
"Yet every time Lawton thought about putting his guns down and becoming normal - whatever the hell that meant - he'd convince himself yet again he was doing this for her. He knew it was a lie, but it was a lie he could live with."
So... I might have a terrible, terrible character crush now. I feel like everyone is judging me, but, oh, it's just me judging myself again.
