Pen smiles softly. “See, here’s the thing. I don’t want to punish you. I’m done with that. Haven’t we all suffered enough?”

But instead of being afraid, instead of running the fuck away, she squares her shoulders, looks me in the eye and opens her arms. She opens her arms and the fucking cyclone within me rips out of my chest, taking my heart with it.
