"The difference between the truth and a lie is that both of them can hurt, but only one will take the time to heal you afterward."
"October— You were sleeping so peacefully that I was loath to wake you.

Hopefully, it’s your manners. You are truly endearing when you sleep. I attribute this to the exotic nature of seeing you in a state of silence. —Tybalt"
