" You've got your real face and then the face you show to the rest of the world. The face you show to the rest of the world is always a little... better than your real face. More pulled together, more smart or funny or nice or in control or whatever it is you want yourself to be. You might want that outward face to be you, but it never quite is. "

― Noelle Adams , In Want of a Wife (Pemberley House, #1)
