“Fine. Just…don’t roll your window down.” As he wrenches himself away from me, sliding back into his seat like a piece of metal drawn to a magnet, I frown. “What, is someone worse than you going to grab me or something?” Tugging at the collar of his dress shirt, Kal gives me a stern look. One I feel straight to my core. “There are many things out there worse than me, little one. And it’s not a matter of if they come for you but when.” His voice is flat, unwavering, whatever episode he had seconds ago completely forgotten as his mask of composition morphs back into place. “I didn’t marry you so you could fuck around and get yourself killed, so when I tell you to do something, I expect you to listen. Don’t make me regret trying to protect you.” “You’ve also said you’re using me,” I point out, crossing my ankles as the driver slows to a stop. “That I’m no good to you if I’m dead. So which is it? Did you marry me to save me or to wield me like a weapon?”
