And that’s exactly what I mean … to have someone to let down all the facades with. We need that, to not have to watch our words, not have to wear contacts or whathaveyou. *she cocks an eyebrow* So, want to tell me about this … special person?
Yeah. *she nodded with a smile* It’s been nice, since I’ve stopped pretending. I do love being able to be myself with others.
W-what? *she grows a little flustered, a faint blush lightly dusting her cheeks* Who said that I have anyone special?
Oh, come on! The only way you would change a long-standing habit like that would be for someone special. Someone your age, forgive me, wouldn’t normally just change their mind about something they’ve done as protection for so long.
