Jesus Christ.” I blinked as he hissed. “I didn’t mean to!” I stepped forward, but he held his hand out to stop me. “Ju-just stay there. Put the fucking gun away.” He grunted and winced before leaning against the wall.

But you, Bianca… I would fucking drive a knife through my own broken heart just to be with you in the afterlife if something happened to you. You are my everything. Please don’t make me resort to such measures. I just want you safe. I want my wife safe. There is nothing I won’t sacrifice to make sure you are.

“You know, Bianca, I think you and I are going to be best friends. We should

exchange numbers. I’ve got a shit ton of cat memes on my phone I think you’d get a kick out of.”
