    “You can’t tell me
    what to do anymore, Travis! I don’t belong to you!”

    expression had contorted into anger. He stomped toward
    me, planting his hands on the bed and leaning into my face.
    “WELL I BELONG TO YOU!” The veins in his neck
    bulged as he shouted, and I met his glare, refusing to even
    flinch. He looked at my lips, panting. “I belong to you.”
