Then ONCE you get your qualifications all the jobs are taken or have been cut and then you're just there, trying to get the same job you applied for all those years back, when you were sixteen, just this time you're way too overqualified and broke.

Not now that he realizes The Horizon isn’t his home at all. That he thinks like her. That she is his home, too.”
