““When he sees me, he stops. His eyes widen, his face pales. And then before i can say anything, he's holding me. And the worst part is-I want to hold him. But I also want to slap him, hit him. Punch him. Tear out his throat. I want him to tell me what he did to me was a mistake. Some horrible mix-up. . .after I'm done holding him back.””
