"I want to hurt you as you hurt me." He declares and I sink my teeth into my lower lip wanting to arrest its violent quivering. This is not about the kiss, this is about staying away from him for almost a year. This is for my sin of beginning to make my home elsewhere and for birthing his male without him.
"Then do it. Why won't you do it?"
"Because I cannot. Because I will not." He shakes his head in refusal as though he was speaking more to himself than me.
"Why?"
"Because every time I look at you, I only see the pup who stared up at me with magnetic blue eyes filled with affection. But that look of yours, the way you are looking at me right now is slaying me Theia. I wish to gauge my own eyes out so I cannot see you anymore. So I can pretend that I am all right."
