ADAM

Seal my heart and break my pride

Adam snorted derisively and shrugged. "I thought so too, but every time I try to talk to her I get a whole load of nothing. Guess she just doesn't fuckin' like me." He'd soon find that the Voice's attention wasn't necessarily something he wanted, but Adam currently felt very ignored. "I think all Gods are pretty much the same at heart. I mean it has to send you up your own ass. Being a God." Dark eyes glanced to Remi. "Oh, uh, no offence."

Having a small circle certainly would have made things easier, but with Adam's dashing good looks and winning personality, it just wasn't going to happen. "That's what you do, is it? Must be kinda lonely." It had always been natural to the rogue to attract a lot of people, to joke and hang out with and know everyone in a town - even those that disliked him. It was a annoying habit talent.

He raised his eyebrows as Remi trailed off with his story, but before Adam could nudge or wink, the sound of Amalia's name took it out of his head. "Uh...yeah...wait..what?" A guffaw punched its way out of him before he had the chance to think about it. "Ama? She was like a fuckin' nun, I thought. Man, I wish we still talked so I could tease her about that. We uh...we kissed, but..." He shrugged. "She said I wasn't really me anymore. I think that's bullshit, but I dunno. For the best anyway, cos I'm already taken. ...Did you uh, know, that your husband was sleeping with her?"

I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
