Am I, dare I say it, our guy?

>Sometimes Leah Dodd will do this thing where she stares off frontly and to the side, most often when she is alone, but sometimes around Jake and the few friends around which she can become herself, and in her stare into nothing, anyone who is by proximity privileged enough to be near her then immediately sees the sadness in her eyes which Leah has inherited from her life, and her mother, and the history of sadness that has led up to her sitting on the couch, or lying in bed, because it happens in these to-be-relaxing moments, and when it happens, and you see the sadness, there’s next to nothing you can do, at least in the moment—at least a dozen loved ones have tried—and yet it makes one wonder what exactly Leah Dodd thinks, still-eyed, downcast, unblinking, and slightly frowning, as if death had already shown her the end, or as if on her own she has already thought and seen it through, as she on many intimate times has disclosed to Jake, repeating every couple months, asking to the space more so than him, asking in a way for space: “What’s the point?” Yet in this way Leah Dodd joins the thoughtful boys or girls going on man or woman, or maybe only woman, holds Jake, but nevertheless the person molded thereafter, who behind closed doors acts one way for those who have infiltrated their heart through sexual love or the not-so-different deepest of friendships, while in front of the rest of the world everything is completely different, and happy, or angry, or anything but hollow stillness unless it’s hidden, to the point where anyone who has seen either side of the inside-up must then turn the torchlight back upon themselves, as Jake has often done, only to see what they, outside of Leah, are really made of, these observers under Leah’s broken wings, and whether there’s any truth to this sadness in Leah Dodd’s eyes, and if you ask Jake, which not even the clearest, suspecting, spectating judges have done, but if you ask Jake, and he hears you out, and answers honestly, it will eventually become clear to both you and him, that nothing he could possibly reply to you or Leah will have been a better answer than her going on silent.

Ah, I see someone has started a self-shill campaign.
