“When you wanted her, we had leverage, but now—” Tomas shakes his head. “You know this game. A man will do a hell of a lot more not to lose something he has than he will to get something he wants.” Yeah, I know the game. They think she’s their leverage. They’re wrong, but if they’re smart, I’ll never have to disabuse them of the notion. A man will do anything to keep what belongs to him.
