Just Look

"There's a moment when you look at a person and you see them for the first time. When you really look. And it's not like all the other times you've seen them. That's just casual looking. You can talk to a person every day; you can know every slope and plane of their face; but you don't really see them. You're looking at them through a veil of familiarity. That's why people in your memories never look the same as their real-life counterparts. Once you really focus on them, you tear down the veil. You see them exactly how they are. All rough edges and bags under the eyes; all stray hairs and kinked eyelashes. All blood vessels and skin; so, so much skin."

Michael has always known there was one person he could count on. And all of a sudden, he needs him more than he ever did.
