trust is a hard thing to give, but once it’s acquired, it’s hard to shake loose.

   sam had a history of knowing only part of a person he THOUGHT he knew
   everything about; it’s why he takes a moment to consider those points being
   true. the ends of his lips thin, pursed in thought, & he shakes his head. 

  ‘ i don’t know, honestly. i don’t know if she’s being a hundred percent honest
    with me, or– or if who i talk to is ACTUALLY her, ‘ he realizes there exists a
    threat, though scarce in his mind, he still remains unhindered by it, ‘ i’m still
    NOT gonna let it cut between our.. friendship. 

     if something happens, well, i dunno, i just hope nothing doesn’t. ‘

     he doesn’t know if he can ever forgive connie if what ( BAD ) she does is
     done intentionally, but he can’t bring himself to face that possibility.
