Author's Notes:

Story Notes:

I never knew how to worship until I knew how to love. --Henry Ward Beecher

He's annoying. And dense. And he's a bit of a snob. He's manipulative. Abrupt, distantly polite.

He's almost absurd in his naiveness. Alien. Scared. Aggressive but cowardly. Formal and stiff. Indifferent. Numb. Impassive. Overconfident and cynical.

He's a perfectionist with overly high expectations for everyone else. Awkward. Authoritarian. Archaic. Arid. Anal. Vulnerable. Conservative. Tactless.

I almost lost my house because of him when he betrayed me for a criminal.

Brittle. A loner. He ruins my suits, gets me in trouble, and I still don't know if he slept with my sister.

He's stubborn. Repressed. Uptight. Sulky.

And I love him.
