No, not anymore.

[ a very long time ago, she did believe in it. she had hoped it would have been her first love, then elijah, and now she refuses to believe in anything like that because it hurts far worse to be left behind by someone who chooses to walk away. ]

I don't know why I'm telling you any of this. It's far more depressing than discussing the sexiness of love handles.

i wouldn't completely close the door

because if you do, you might miss getting what you want

[ he's way too nice. ]

I've done a lot of things to make people never want to step through that door. I think if you knew, you'd change your mind about me.

[anklemonitor]

everyone's done things they're not proud of.

i won't change my mind. i hope you don't close yourself off to it all together.

[manipulative]

Do you always believe the best in people you don't know?

[anklemonitor]

i know you

but yes, i do. i want to believe that about everyone

[manipulative]

[ that gives her pause. if he really knew her, she doesn't think he'd associate with her. ]

What if they were someone who had only done evil? Just pure evil acts, over and over, nothing forgivable. Would you see the good in them, too?

[anklemonitor]

i don't think there's anyone out there who's never done one good thing in their life.

so yeah, there's good in them too.

[ does katherine want forgiveness? yes. does she want to acknowledge she needs it and what for? no. she's spent so much of her life allowing herself to be the bad guy that she had never once thought to look at herself and see that perhaps she wasn't as lost as some people thought.

it takes her a moment to reply. ]

Cassie's very lucky to have a father who refuses to see the bad in people. It's a very rare gift.

[ she doesn't say—type—that lightly. ]

[anklemonitor]

thanks.

i also play a mean air guitar sometimes.

so that's a plus too.
