I like him
“Who.”
Knees buckled
“For the same reason I have never taken a promotion or a vacation, Cara. I’m always on the fortieth floor because that is where you are. I will always want to be wherever you are.”
I HAVE TEARS IN MY EYES I LOVE THEM
In her apartment I learn that our height difference means I’m perfect for her on my knees, and that her being strong enough to toss me around brings all the thrill of Nik Nik with none of the cloying fear.
Clawing at the walls of my enclosure
