"You aren't," he tells him. "You aren't. But being with you is like being in this fantastic landscape," he continues, slowly.

"Sometimes, when I concentrate." He winced and grabbed the bandage from me to apply pressure to the bleeding himself. "You are very easy to read. Most of the time. — Robin Bridges
