#Chapter376
I was scared that he had a possessive hold on me in the form of a legal document calling me his, but the entire morning he was exactly who I have come to love and depend on. No change, no lording over me. Instead, he tried to show me the positives this one simple thing can have on my existence beyond what it is between us. It offers me an opportunity to no longer be cast down and trampled on in his world while still surviving within its boundaries.
It’s a way to get that happy life and still be connected to the darkness he needs to thrive within. He is giving me the protection I never knew was possible. If I can come to terms with the reasons why I don’t want it, then maybe I can live with it.
I have a lot to think about in terms of what this actually means, beyond becoming a prisoner in my own hellish mind.
