   Summary

   There’s almost something unsettling about how that moves you—how Jason’s character could be cracked open by a single Jane Austen line, buried in the pages of a book he keeps within reach. It softens him, grinds the edges of his form in your memory, sands the grit from his words in your hand, and you think this living arrangement might not be too bad after all.

   What’s so bad about a big man reading a little bit of Jane Austen, anyway?

   In which your roommate keeps arriving home bloodied and bruised, stubborn and a little cruel.
