““And I would like nothing more than to think I was some criminal mastermind, and was able to fool Marcus, but the truth is I wasn’t even saying things with much conviction. Anyone who cared to see me, would have known I was lying through my teeth, but not him. That night, and after, Marcus saw what he wanted to see. He believed what he wanted to believe. I just used it to my advantage.””
