" I can tell within a glance if someone hates me. Sometimes it only takes one word. Other times, it’s those subtle nonverbal cues – a shift of the eyes or arms folded over a chest in an attempt to hide all of that hate inside that’s dying to bore through their chest and grip mine until I choke or die.
Nico Medina is subtle about it. It’s the way he doesn’t look at me, and how he breathes when I speak – the sound of air filling his chest so heavy I think it may just turn into fire and come back at me in flames. "
