“I guess … it’s not just the surface-level stuff. You’re darkly funny and fiercely bright. You believe yourself a villain, but still create pockets of goodness inside your life. And … I can’t explain it. It’s like you have a depth that other people lack. Maybe it’s who you are, or maybe it’s how long we’ve lived. There’s a … texture? A richness? To your heart. It fascinates me. I want to peel back the layers until I find your center.”
