Grim talks to Nickie about Borderline Personality Disorder, is what happens to a person when someone is pathologically afraid of being abandoned,” he explained. “They either cling way too much to people they have, or they push them away to get it over with and have some control over it. Or they just refuse to reach out at all, so then no one gets a chance to leave. It can be pretty self-fulfilling, but it doesn’t actually have to be.” Nickie’s eyes narrowed slightly. “What are you getting at?” Grim sighed with exaggerated patience. “I’m saying that I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to just up and leave you.” There was silence in the room for a moment. Nickie frowned as she turned that thought over in her head as if trying to examine it from every angle. She jumped slightly when Grim leaned across the table to point a finger at her nose. “Which means,” he continued, “that you can stop being such a monumental jackass.” She thought about what Grim had said, and about Tabitha leaving her the diary – and begins to realize some of her truth.
