I used to know how to hug
I used to know how to love
It's simple stuff, but now I can't remember
I used to laugh all the time

courtship, "Nice Guy"

I’m not a fool. Used to be. There was a time where I was warm. Open. Trusting… And that trust cost me everything.

But something about Travis had felt off to him. The Travis he knew would be terrified out of his damned mind.

But Travis looks to be calm; His posture is tall and upright, and his face is stern with an unusual level of intimacy. He doesn't look scared, nor crazed. But rather, he looks calm, and collected.
