Trust me.” “Yeah, yeah.” “I’m serious,” Toren says, jerking me again. “I’ve been doing this for years.” “And?” “And what? Still feels like I got shot in the fucking stomach and I’m bleeding out.” He lands a hit square to my abdomen, but I tense, seeing it coming. “It never stops, and it never hurts less.”
