I won’t even try, but I’ve lived a half-life since the day I lost you. I don’t want to live that way anymore. My home, my heart, everything I have is yours. You only have to ask for it.

What he meant to say was something else entirely that didn’t put a target on his back in case the fucker actually does get killed. I know. I’m trying to train the puppies properly. Why do you think I came here with him? I forgot my water bottle or I’d squirt him in the face. Does anyone have a newspaper I can roll up?”
