QUOTE : I can't be on too long before I have to stop. If she hadn't left, you'd both be home right now.” <br /><br />Victoria’s brow wrinkled. <br /><br />“I don’t understand.” <br /><br />“You take energy from people, from crowds, and you expend more. For you, when you’re on, you run like a German engine, no?” <br /><br />“Right.” <br /><br />“When you go home after the party’s over and you haven’t had enough attention, you miss it. You crave more.” <br /><br />“Right.” <br /><br />“I don’t take in energy like that. People take energy from me. I can be social, I can be on, but I go home for silence and solitude, not because it’s time for the party to end. I don’t want to hear another person’s voice for three days so I can recharge. Like a battery.
