My jaw twitches as tears blur my vision. “You’re hurting me,” I whisper, but I don’t tell him that it's his words I’m talking about. “That’s how you show me that you love me?” At first, he doesn’t realize it and watches me with squinted eyes, but when I move my shoulder, trying to escape his hold, something snaps in him. He takes a step back, his expression softening from the pure rage earlier. Carter looks at me like I’m made of glass now, a tear dropping on his cheek.
