How CTB Became CTF

To recap: CTB told Overshare that he was 25, single, and a former school teacher trying to decide if he should go to law school.

We have since learned that CTB is actually 34 and lives with his parents.

And then, The Day happened. The Day when CTB became CTF.

Overshare, in my office again: Should I take a sick day tomorrow to go to CTB's court appearance?
Anonymous: I'm sorry-- court appearance?
Overshare, knowing she didn't tell me: Oh, didn't I tell you?
Anonymous, pondering why she's such a glutton for punishment: No, you haven't. Why does he have a court appearance?
Overshare: Apparently he beat a man into a coma one night at work.
Anonymous: Beat a man into a coma?
Overshare: He was protecting himself-- the guy pulled a knife.
Anonymous, skeptically: But into a coma?
Overshare: What are you trying to say?
Anonymous: Just that maybe CTB has some anger issues.
Overshare: Well, I think it's sexy.
Anonymous, baffled: I'm sorry. Sexy?
Overshare: Well, yeah... just think about all the power beating a man that hard takes....
Anonymous, disgusted: I don't think it's sexy at ALL. It's downright scary.
Overshare: Well, if you were sleeping with him, you'd understand. He's a powerful guy. He can't control it.
Anonymous: Well, maybe he should try.
