Dear Lissa,
I know you want more time centre stage, but you have to meet me halfway... or at least a little part of the way... or maybe just stop turning your nose up at every plotline I come up with. I'm trying my best, ok? Just give me something to work with.
And while you're at it, take it easy on Drake. I know, you just met, and he got you shot, and everything, but trust me, his heart's in the right place, and I really think you two could be friends. You should be friends. It's kinda the point of the story (partly). And he is the main character, after all.
What? No, you're not the main character. Yes, the story is about you, but it starts with him. Because you're all secretive, that's why. Starting with you would ruin the big surprise when your secrets come out.
Yes they will. Seriously, they'll have to come out at some point. Like I said, give this guy a chance. Things are going to get very difficult, and if you leave him shut out for too long, it might get you killed. And I don't want to do that.
Oh, don't give me that. For once, I know what you're thinking. Your usual tricks won't work on me, and you still don't realise that you're in way over your head. Seriously. Talk to the guy, get to know him. And while you're at it, let me get to know you a little better.
