“People always think they want the truth until you give it to them. Once you do that, they never look at you the same. It’s all sad eyes, pitiful glances, and empty words that don’t help. But you already know that, don’t you, Chris? That’s why no one here knows about your mom. That’s why you hide the demons that keep you up at night behind a big smile and bury the rest of it inside whatever girl finds her way into your bed.”
