My life? It’s been… it’s been an adventure. Not all of it good. [ Without thinking, he brings a hand to his own chest, presses it over the scar there, hidden just beneath his shirt. ] But I wouldn’t have gotten where I am today without the good and the bad, and I’ve learned to accept that.

Also, I’m a very small person, so my very small car suits me just fine, thank you. I wasn’t expecting to be taking a mountain out on a date when I bought it.
