“You have been my distraction from the moment I saw you by the pool, baby. On your belly. With that slip of olive skin between your jeans and your shirt. From the moment I open my eyes in the morning to when I close them again at night, you are my beautiful distraction.”
“And your happiness?”
“Then why didn’t you come for me?”
“Why didn’t you come for me?”
“Why didn’t you come for me!”
“You think I didn’t try?”
“Shoshanna,”
“You think I didn’t try to hunt you down, baby? You think I’d just let you leave me?”

“I’m so sorry, baby,”
“What have you...”
“Done?”
“I ... can’t... let ... you ... leave... me ... again.”
She doesn’t have anyone to blame but herself. My baby... She knows me better than this. Did she really think I was going to let her go back to him?
The other, though, feels an intense pull to stay with Bronson. To be the person by his side. To wring information out of him, sort it all out, and keep him safe.
He was my dream boy. We have lost so much time, Bronson. Where did it go?
“Talk to me,”
“Something’s not right,”
“He’s searching our clothes.”
“What is he expecting to find?”
“Diamonds.”
“Fuck. Bronson, what have you done? You’...

“You took me away from Akila. You got Perry killed. After all we went through. After all we shared! You took me! You were my choice, Bronson! I chose you! I wanted you. Then you do this. You ruined it all.”
“They used what matters to me to control me. And now you are too. Just another handler to organise my life for me. It’s my fucking life. Mine!”
“I was fucking selfish,”
“I want you. I want you slapping me across the face, hitting me with pans.”
“I want you to be my beautiful distraction from this goddamn chaos I’ve managed ...
