“Because I’m fucking petrified of losing you, Ellie. I’m scared and I’ve never been scared of anything in my fucking life. But you… you scare the shit out of me.” I lock my arms behind his neck. “You are not going to lose me—well, you might if you keep being an ass. But you have to talk to me, Gio. Tell me what’s going on. Help me understand why you think I’m in danger.”
