“No, Cassie. No. You need to know this about me now. I will protect what is mine until my last fuckin’ breath. If someone says something to hurt you, I’m talkin’ to them. Someone fuckin’ touches you, I’m sure as fuck making sure they never do it again. I know you’re proud, know you’re strong. I know you can handle yourself; you’ve done it for long enough. But now I’m here. Three weeks, three years, or a fuckin’ eternity, right now you’re mine. You got that? You being mine means I take care of you.”
