Neal has learned that being alone has nothing to do with being around people. He knows this because he is surrounded by them and it still hurts.

He’s tired of being blown out of the arms of the people he loves like a helium balloon. (It doesn’t help that, this time, one of the winds was him.)

He’s sitting across from a fence, and he’s tempted, so tempted, to say yes, if only to surrender to the rush of a con, and, just for a few hours, forget where he is, who he is.

It takes him all his strength just to run away.
