Attacking my reading skills and pointing out my attitude? Wow, you're a flatterer. How did I ever get through life without someone like you nipping at my heels like a particularly aggressive poodle?

[ said...affectionately??? okay, not really. but it's not the worst thing he could have said, at least. maybe she'll even be able to spin it as a compliment. ]

Believe me, this isn't the worst things have sucked for me in awhile. At least I'm fucking alive. [ literally alive. being dead was such a drag. just floating around in water, waiting for someone to wake you up from your eternal prison sentence. ]

Who says I need a safehouse, though?
