"Fine," he says. "Then I love you.”

“Simulation Tobias kisses my neck.
I try to think. I have to face the fear. I have to take control of the situation and find a way to make it less frightening.

bedpost. I feel something other than fear鈥攁 prickle in my stomach, a bubble of laughter. I press against him and kiss him, my hands wrapping around his arms. He feels strong. He feels鈥ood.
And he鈥檚 gone.
I laugh into my hand until my face gets hot. I must be the only initiate with this fear.”

“What did you do?鈥� I mumble. He is just a few feet away from me now, but not close enough to hear me. As he passes me he stretches out his hand. He wraps it around my palm and squeezes. Squeezes, then lets go. His eyes are bloodshot; he is pale. 鈥淲hat did you do?鈥� This time the question tears from my throat like a growl. I throw myself toward him, struggling against Peter鈥檚 grip, though his hands chafe. 鈥淲hat did you do?鈥� I scream. 鈥淵ou die, I die too鈥� Tobias looks over his shoulder at me. 鈥淚 asked you not to do this. You made your decision. These are the repercussions.”
