Me that's who. I'm not proud of it especially when my bestie took me in when I had nowhere else to go after getting kicked out at fifteen. But when I'm with Atticus it's all too easy to forget that what I'm doing is wrong.

It's the first thing you learn in glassblowing but it's not the only thing I've had break. Between childhood trauma and a broken heart I doubt I'll ever leave my anxiety behind.
