Cassian Moretti had always known how to compartmentalize. It was easy to do, growing up in the type of family he had and living the life he lived. Violence in one box, family in another, and desire shoved somewhere dark and locked.
Lately, the boxes kept bleeding into one another. He let himself be careless and that got his mother killed; he let himself be overly ambitious and that tore the little camaderie he and his brother had; he gave his heart and he got cheated on. Now, he desired another and let himself be vulnerable, he was about to ruin all his hard work and connections with one of the few people he could trust.
Letting things lie the way they do instead of controlling them always ended up hurting him.one way or the other.
