ALANNA NGUYEN: Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?

“Both, you can’t just be one or the other. And if you are… Are you really thinking about what’s going on?”

In truth, if Cade was truly himself and not currently drowning in his past then he would be borderline optimistic. He’s generally a ‘go-with-the-flow’ kind of guy, not thinking either way particularly unless the situation reaches a climax. Unfortunately, with his current state, he leans more toward pessimistic even if he doesn’t want people to think so. He doesn’t want to be that guy but sometimes he wakes up and it’s a bad day and he’s going to be that pessimistic guy.

CADE MITCHELL: How often do you seek out the company of others? Or are you more comfortable alone?

“Nothing wrong with being alone. The company of other people is nice, sure, but I wouldn’t say that I seek out the company of others.”

A dumb thing for him to say really. Cade can handle being alone, he’s done it for part of his life and accepted that as his lifestyle. At the same time, he wants the company of other people. How many years did he spend coasting by without anyone really close to him other than his dad? There was always that biting loneliness, rooting itself deep into his heart and impossible to get rid of… not that he tried. Recently, however, Cade’s been slowly learning to seek out the company of others, starting with Alanna and Casey. If he can do it with people he’s known in the past, why couldn’t he do it with everyone else?

GLORY HOSKINS: Have you ever been in love? Do you want to be?

“Love… are we talking that real true love stuff? I’ve had crushes and I’ve been… infatuated. But have I ever been truly in love with someone like my dad is with his wife Lisa? No. But god, I hope I can be one day.”
