“Unperverted truth usually does.”
She snapped her gaze to him. “You intend to free me from my custom,” she said, as if just realizing that. “How will you do this? I don’t want to hurt anybody or see people hurt. Other than…”
“Those who need to be hurt, I hope you’re about to say.”
“Yes. The will and the way.”
“The will and the way?”
“You will get the way of your will, if your will is bad, you get bad.”
“We call that sowing and reaping.”
She smiled, considering for many seconds. “That is averygood explanation of it. Is your birth name truly Bullets?”
He grinned, lowering his head. “No. But I don’t tell people my birth name.”
“Why?” she wondered, with childlike curiosity.
“It’s not their business,” he went with.
“You see your…birth name as a business?”
“No, I just see it as a private matter.”
“Is this a custom?”
“No, it’s me.”
“You see your name as a private matter,” she doublechecked.
“That’s right,” he said, amazed that her inquiries didn’t bother him in the least.
“My name Mia meansmine. And Juni means born in June.” Her face fell a little. “My mother named me that lie. I was never hers nor was I born in June.”
“But it can still be true. The way the sun’s truth reflects on the water.”
She hit him with a fierce gaze that suddenly began to glow with tears. “You believe this?”
“Absolutely,” he said, at seeing what he believed meant everything to her. “You were hers and still are. Death doesn’t change that. And June is a time of hope and life. You were that to her. You can be that to yourself.”
She lowered her head and wiped her eyes. “It is very sad you do not have a wife, Mr. Bullets. Such a beautiful soul deserves the pleasures a wife can bring.”
Fuck me, twice.
“My birth name is Jericho Flint.”
She snapped her head up. “Why did you tell me this private matter?”
He stood, ready to go get some air. “Don’t know why and don’t care. But I did. Just don’t call me by that name.”
“Okay, Jericho Flint.”
He sighed at the door. “I just saiddon’tcall me by that name.”
“I will not call you by that name,” she assured.
He turned and looked at her, realizingcallmeant something different to her. “Don’t use that name with me. Ever. Not in private and not in public. Like you never look at the mirror, never use that name.”
