"No, that was just a strange connection we both felt that first night and we didn't even figure it out until later. I don't know that I can put a name on it, not really. At first he was very distant, combative, get-the-fuck-away-from-me type. But I kept him talking, and talking. And when he did, the more he talked, the more I felt this connection. By the time he left in the morning. He was smiling, laughing. And so was I."
