She's still glaring at me, waiting for some sort of clarification or explanation.

"Just a chance to show you exactly how much you mean to me." I want to hang my head, but I force myself to meet her eyes.

Silently pleading. I have no authority to utter any such entreaties. Not anymore.

She continues to bore her eyes into me. Something in the pit of my stomach sours.

Whatever she's thinking, I know I don't like it. It's in the set of her jaw, the way her fists clench.

"Turn me."

I fucking knew it.
