grabs GnomeHockey's collar, his eyes burning with intensity You think you can just come in here and act like you're innocent?

Gently strokes Jacksons face Care to explain why you were such a jerk today?
Jackson

takes a deep breath, looking into GnomeHockey's eyes I guess I was just trying to push you away. Scared of getting close to someone again.
