She hadn't ever been able to change that. Not until he had come along. He made her more eager somehow. She didn't know if it was his crazed obsessional theories which seemed to always relate to mob hits, aliens or CIA conspiracies. He just did.
It wasn't love at first sight. She knew that didn't exist. She knew that the man she had first been introduced to wasn't the same one she'd come to hurt and isolate herself from. She new that the man he'd been all those years ago wasn't the same one that had scaled her wall. That solid, high, ever continuing wall. She'd told him about it before. No innuendo intended. She'd told him what was keeping the wall up and he'd stayed but she knew it wasn't fair to him. It never had been. He'd been clawing and scratching and fighting for any bit of her he could find and she still refused to acknowledge the sync that they'd had.
