    Summary

    “...what do I want to know about you?” asks this man who eats confessions like amuse bouches, and she can tell, she can tell how violence is only a wrong word or a right word away. She can’t possibly predict or read him accurately, and this coiled recklessness living inside her makes the situation heady.

    Terrifying.

    Fine, she’ll give him something. He has worked hard for it, earned it, look, that is sweat on his brow!

    She smiles, but there are tears in her eyes.

    “A man once put a gun under my chin and said I reminded him of his daughter when I was afraid.”
