I'm coming back to this story after the longest time. I'd forgotten how inspiring it is. You always put me in the mood to write. Thank you for that. This part:
But it's always been like that with Gerard. If you knew what his next action was going to be, then you were living among the dead. He'll pull something at you, just to gauge your reaction. Just to weigh the relationship. He'll say something and store away your first initial response to use later, when he's passing judgment. He'll take the look on your face when he does something scandalous and decide whether or not it was worth it. He'd meet your eyes and read everything in them. He'd use it against you.
It slays me. I just want you to know that. It's amazing. I'm reviewing and rating. Thank you.
