If there’s anything I’ve learned in this short time with Connor, it’s that there’s no guile to him. He’s playful, thoughtful, and sweetly intense in equal measure; none of it is held back or artificial. It’s probably the least careful thing about him, that he hands over his emotions like this. It makes me feel safe with him. I can be careful or not and it doesn’t matter. He’s right there, showing me his entire hand.
