Your lies aren't that insidious and you're considerably charismatic.

I know. But it's a better chance of getting some space than going to prom or staying in my cabin. I don't want to think about leaving, and that's all they'll make me do. They won't mean to, of course, but it's faking happy with Ree or trying to treat Cole like everything's normal.

Thank you for [...] all of this. Being my friend. The whole thing.
