" I’ll wear you down,” he proclaimed.
“No, you won’t,” I denied.
“You won’t let me in, I’ll break in, sneak in, blast in,” he promised.
“You won’t get in,” I contradicted.
He shut up again and stared at me.
After long moments, I watched as suddenly, weirdly and, most of all, scarily, he saw something in me that made his face clear.
I didn’t think that was good.
I would find out I was right.
“Let you in on a secret, babe, and you think on this,” he told me.
I was not going to think on anything.
“Hop… get… off… me,” I snapped.
His body pressed into mine so he could lift his hands up and frame my face.
“I’m already in. Just gotta wait for you to realize it. "
