Balance.

That perfect state where opposing forces hold each other in check.

My attraction to Lisbon; my fear for her safety.

The need to protect my love through feigned indifference,

Through sleeping with the enemy.

Turning Red John's gift into Red John's downfall.

I worry the ring on my finger.

Vengeance for my loss, atonement for my sins, a vow to those now gone.


Lisbon is my lighthouse. The course from which I veer.

Her feelings for me run deep;

So does her fear of my rejection.

The point of her equilibrium.


She is my goal and anchor.
