“ what’s your biggest secret ?”
“My biggest secret?” he laughs and only those who knew him best would know it was a tell, something confident to cover for the reactions he did not want seen. He thinks of white lines gone bad, of parties where he’s egged people on too far. Everyday he pushes people to drink their worries away and he knows where that leads. Peddling poison and thrills without shame. When he lives that way, it should have been obvious what sins he carried, tucked away where no one could see. "For that, turtledove, you’d have to offer me something more. It has to be worth. I don’t go trading away my secrets on a whim.”
