[ she seems, at once, like she doesn't want to talk about it and also like she's been wanting someone to talk with about it. ]
You remember when my double showed up? [ as if it wasn't like 4 days ago ] Mentioned my best friend, David... I was crazy about that gonk. Ain't no one I cared about like I cared about him. Even though he never looked my way like that.

Let me tell you somethin', as someone who's lived a not-so-good life and found a way-too-good guy, you'd be surprised at how quickly those kinds of people accept you at your worst and find a way to love you in spite of it.
