i'll make a deal with you—i tell you about one of my scars and then you tell me about that one on your arm. you don't even have to say how you got it. just tell me who did it.
...
okay, um, this scar right here on my shoulder was from my mom. she stabbed me with a broken vodka bottle and i had to get sent to the hospital. my dad took the blame for her and he went to prison for 3 months for domestic violence.
...
hey, don't give me that look. i'm fine now, i promise. plus, my mom's in jail now for a lot of other bad things she's done.
...
i know you didn't really shake on this deal, but since i told you about my scar, can you tell me who gave you yours?
....my dad.
oh...i see.
...
for the record, you're beautiful—scars or not.
no.
