"You can pretend I'm him if you need to," he whispers into the darkness.

Gods, that last bit killed me. At the end of the day, everyone is pretending...they're pretending to be others, to love others, to be with others. Bill is pretending she's Laura, but she never will be her, and therein lies the heartache. She wouldn't even mins if Nicco could pretend to be him. She pretends, he pretends, it's all part of imaginationland in Hoville.

I might be a little misty right now. I blame the PMS.

Such wonderful insight on pretending. "Nobody's who they really are." Seriously, I'm loving how much you are loving on this fic. It means a lot to me. I'd hug you but we soooo don't do that.

Frak the PMS. I blame this drama.

And oh yeah, the Versace thing? Nice.

That was all tjonesy, I merely named the dude and did the Nicco-in-the-magazine mention.

This has all happened before. Apparently.

Really insightful feedback Kat. Yeah, it's a big world of make believe since the attacks.

Sorry about the PMS :(
