“Then I guess I’m sensitive,” I reply. “I’m sensitive, and I’m softhearted, and I’m emotional, and I’m probably delicate, too. I cry during sad commercials and I say sorry all the time—most of the time for reasons I can’t articulate. I never wanted to be a lawyer. I hate arguing. This conversation right now is killing me because I just want to give you what you want from me until this feeling in the middle of my chest goes away.”
