“And you’re not as unlikeable as you come across. First impressions are a bitch, but anyone who gets to know you can see you’re a decent person underneath. You have a big, tender heart in there.

Heck, even Torin and Ruiz can see past your prickly coat of armor.” He hooked a finger with mine and drew me closer. “You might be hard to like, Quaid, but you’re easy to love.”
