truth be told    ;    the suggestion of    coffee    was more unsettling than the fact that she worked at a funeral home. in fact, the latter made him that much more    INTERESTED.    or more so, that much sure this she    was,    indeed, who he was searching for. it felt like a    millennium    since he’d felt the comfort of her presence. though, he’s trying    desperately    to keep in mind that she hasn’t even the    SLIGHTEST    idea of who he is. so he’ll simply nod, the softest of chuckles slipping past chapped petals    ;    the hint of a    cough    bubbling out from the back of his throat.        ❝        coffee sounds    great,       ❞        despite his disapproval of the caffinated drink, he wasn’t keen on turning down an offer to spend en elongated amount of time with her.        ❝        i’m    kieran,    by the way.        ❞        and he’s unable to mask the way his gaze feverently searches her countenance    —    would his name ring    any    sort of bells    ?

     ❝  You don’t seem  ...  surprised ,  ❞  Leslie notices  ,  embarrassed smile only growing as she makes her way to the shop .  ❝  Most people don’t even want to shake my hand after I tell them .  ❞  She laughs because she finds it humorous  ,  but it is true  ---  she’d need a lot of hands to be able to count on her fingers how many times it had happened to her .

‘   This is not a fatal wound. The bullet misses every artery.   ‘

‘   It just means she can’t do anything about it. This is my design.  ‘

‘   I imagine what you see and learn touches everything else in your mind.    ‘

‘   I can’t shut mine off any more than you can shut yours off..   ‘

‘   Please, don’t psychoanalyze me. You won’t like me when I’m psychoanalyzed.    ‘

‘   Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go give a lecture on psychoanalyzing.   ‘

‘   Therapy doesn’t work on you because you won’t let it.   ‘

‘   Well, perhaps you need to un-learn some tricks.   ‘

‘   Last time he sent me to a dark place I brought something back.   ‘

‘   I suggested one of those clackin’ swingin’ ball things.   ‘

‘   It’s the inevitability of there being a man so bad that killing him felt good.  ‘

‘   I’m still not entirely sure that wasn’t my intention, pulling the trigger.   ‘

‘   Eating her is honoring her. Otherwise, it’s just murder.   ‘

‘   So killing somebody, even if you have to do it, it feels that bad?   ‘

‘   You beginning to appreciate my lack of sympathy?   ‘

‘   I don’t know how I’m gonna feel about eating her after all this.   ‘

‘   It isn’t very smart to piss off a guy who thinks about killing people for a living.   ‘

‘   Passion’s good. Gets blood pumping.  ‘

‘   My parents gave me a gift. A twin. Who wouldn’t want two of me?  ‘

‘   What kind of victim forgives the killer at the moment of death?   ‘

‘   I have no taste for animal cruelty. That’s why I employ an ethical butcher.    ‘

‘   I’m afraid I insist on it, no need for unnecessary suffering.   ‘

‘   Human emotions are a gift from our animal ancestors.   ‘

‘   Well this should be interesting. Please, doctor, proceed.   ‘

‘   What it grows, and where it’s growing it will likely kill you..   ‘

‘   It’s getting harder and harder to make myself look.   ‘

‘   But I am looking alone, and you know what looking at this does.   ‘

‘   I know what happens if you don’t look, and so do you.    ‘

‘   I can make myself look, but the thinking is shutting down.   ‘

‘   You don’t think I have a right to know what’s happening with my wife?  ‘

‘   The effect I was hoping to have was her death. Mission accomplished.    ‘

‘   Certain personalities are attracted to certain professions.   ‘

‘   Here we are, bunch of psychopaths helping each other out.    ‘

‘   Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda.   ‘

‘   Your bad luck that you’re the best, pal.    ‘

‘   I feel like I’ve dragged you into my world.    ‘

‘   I want to go on record as saying that this is a very bad idea.   ‘

‘   It’s natural to see if someone is clever enough to climb over them.   ’

‘   What reason did you have to kill the others?   ‘

‘   Insane isn’t really black or white, is it?   ‘

‘   What do you smell on me?    ‘

‘   I think that the work you do here has created a sense of stability for you.   ‘

‘   You married? You’re married. How long you married? That long?   ‘

‘   I feel like hell. Actually, no, I feel, uh, fluid, like I’m spilling.    ‘

‘  You were attacked by a patient not too long ago. I read the report.    ‘

‘   They will believe he did. They will believe he killed others, too.    ‘

‘   I’m so sorry, ______. I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you in this life.    ‘

‘   I know who I am. I’m not so sure I know who you are anymore.   ‘

‘   I am not the intelligent psychopath you are looking for.  ‘

‘   I’m not asking you to believe anything you can’t prove.   ‘

‘   I’ve always found the idea of death comforting.  ‘

‘   That would suggest a radically unorthodox form of therapy.    ‘

‘   I’m always happy to do a favor for a friend, just say the word.   ‘

‘   How does one politely refuse a dish in circumstances such as these?   ‘

‘   You never answered my question. How would killing me make you feel?   ‘

‘   She was compelled to take his life so she could take her own back.  ‘

‘   Tell me, did your heart race when you murdered her?   ‘

‘   When the fox hears the rabbit scream, he comes running. But not to help.   ‘

‘   I let you know me… see me. I gave you a rare gift, but you didn’t want it.  ‘

         ❛  you’ve really never seen much of the world?  ❜ blue eyes widen in surprise, lips pursing almost into a pout. ellie, formally eleanor, is only twenty-eight and yet, she’s already seen so much of the world. she’s seen so many different cultures, different scenarios, she’s even been to experience different centuries, though it’s only through excavations. so, this revelation was like a shock to her almost. ❛  you can’t be serious. there’s so much to see, so much to experience!  ❜

     Leslie is taken aback for a few seconds  --  it had never occurred to her that her way of living might be odd .  It always seemed so practical  ,  for her to be sheltered and protected as she was .  A little sad for her at times  ,  but not out of the ordinary .  ❝  No  ...  never ,  ❞  Leslie finally answers  ,  an embarrassed smile on her lips .  She won’t mention why  ,  however  ,  as she knows what happens at home stays at home  ,  and she doesn’t put it past her father to punish her for oversharing .

   ❝ leslie, ❞ repeated back to her, slowly, as if making sure he’s    understood correctly. he pauses, watching her intently. she    moves like a trapped sheep, & his soul is spooned at, seeing    mannerisms of his sister in this leslie.

   ❝ you see, leslie, i have people who want to hurt me, too. ❞     anthony scratches at the back of his neck for just a moment,    wishing he could be tougher than this, & let her be on her way.    ❝ i am simply just more prepared. ❞ he decides to start the car,    ❝ i will take you somewhere safe, ❞ assured, ❝ but if you are    dishonest in who you are, i am prepared for that. ❞    a hand falls to the console of his car, ❝ is this okay with you ? ❞

     There’s a large part of her that wants to blurt out that she’d lied about her name  ---  insist it was a small thing only for her protection and swear she’ll never lie to him so long as they’re together  ,  but the rational part of her knows it isn’t a good idea .  It’s for your protection  ,  she thinks  ,  and the phrase repeats over and over again until it becomes sort of a chant inside of her head .  There’s no way he’ll find out .  ❝  Sure  --  I mean  ,  yes .  It’s okay with me  ---  I won’t lie .  Thank you .  ❞
