Everything you’re saying is brilliant in theory, but it’s hard tomake happen in practice. But who cares? I don’t want to talk about that. What would change? You didn’t conform, and you still can’t find whatever you’re looking for. Isn’t this why the conversation started?

Rhys, are you mad?
From: Ginger Davies

Subject: RE: Life
If you’re mad, you might as well know I think you’re acting like a five-year-old. Six, maybe. If you’re lucky. This is class-idiot behavior.

Whatever. I’ve got the brain of a six-year-old.
(Better than being an eighty-two-year-old.)

Ha ha ha. I can’t believe it.
You know what, you may act all independent and depressed and like you’re just over life, but you remind me sometimes of the typical spoiled little kid who was a football star in high school and got to be prom king like in the movies. Admit it’s true, and maybe I’d be willing to sign a truce.

Maybe you just hit the nail on the head, Ginger Snap.
So fine, I’ll sign the truce.

What does that mean? Rhys, Rhys, RHYS.
Answer me. Seriously. Don’t let the curiosity kill me.
