-AUDREY-
After one very strange and amazing evening, Luther basically evaporated into thin air.
At first, I felt embarrassed for thinking he was going to kiss me. Of course, he wouldn’t. He might look scary with all those muscles and tattoos, but he’s a decent guy. And he has a girlfriend.
He said I was special. I took it as a compliment, as if I had somehow made an impact on his life.
Now, looking at it from a distance, I can see it better. He was complimenting me the same way you do when someone does a terrible job, and you try to soften the blow. Like saying “I like how you painted the sun yellow,” because you’re avoiding the truth, which is “you suck.”
"You're special, Audrey." That means you're broken and pathetic, but I'm too nice a guy to kick you when you're down.
But it’s no
