i’m on fire, but i’m trying not to show it

He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"

"What?"

He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"

"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."

The runaway trolley is life. The lever is me. You can't control the bad things that happen in life, Tom. But if I pull that lever, it's a choice, and I'm choosing to kill that person, and I could never do that. There-There's a quote I love. I've got it up here in cross stitch. So, I'm gonna read it to you.

You once saw me with a flat tire and you kept on driving.

"Tom's relationship with Patricia is a funny one because I think they're a little bit codependent. She likes having this friend, who's the mayor, and she's by his side all the time. Matthew [Rhys] and I once talked about how, God forbid, he ever forgot Patricia's birthday, his life would be over. He couldn't go to work for weeks because he [would] know she's just waiting to be furious. For him, she's someone that he can rant to. She's all ears. She'll listen. Always." -Kate O’Flynn, Den of Geek
