From The Publisher:

People here think they know me. They assume things about me because of the way I dress and my tattoos.

I am so much more.

I thought you saw that. So, I let you in. You made it easy to fall for you. Turns out I was the only one falling.

I hope you're happy.

No, that's a lie and you're better than I am at telling those.
