   Summary

   Silver tongued lies are woven like a web. Gold hearted truths are spread like wildfire. It's a never ending battle between the two, one that has no predicted ending.

   "I love you."
   "Then why are you doing this?"
   "Because I need to keep you safe! I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt or died."
   "You're hurting me by doing this, you're hurting us by doing this!"
   "I know. And I'm so so sorry for it."

   In which Everest Fairchild tries her hardest to keep from losing herself to the chaos of the world by grounding herself to the little stability she has.
