GracieLou

“What? But you like everything!” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

GreenArrow11

All right, sassy pants, that’s enough.

GracieLou

Oh, that’s right, you think everything is a circle of hell. I always get those two confused.

GreenArrow11

Not everything.

Just a lot of things.

Like lines. And mouth breathers. And people who grin at strangers like psychopaths.

GracieLou

Now you’re just being rude. You know I grin at strangers like a psychopath.

GreenArrow11

I guarantee you make it look good.

GracieLou

You can’t know that. For all you know, I’m balding and pick my teeth with a dagger.

GreenArrow11

Right. And?

GracieLou

Haha. You would make a terrible psychopath.

GreenArrow11

Now who’s being rude?

Is it because I’m the first person everyone would guess?

GracieLou

Nah. It’s the charming ones who are always the secret bad guys. The surly ones are always the secret softies.
