“I see it now. He’s the tallest, strongest tree in the forest, with roots so firm and immovable that trying to tear them out would only drive them deeper, all the way to the other side of the world. People like him can lose, but they can never be defeated.”

His fingers brush carefully over my ankle, fastening the T-strap buckle like he’s handling something small that just hatched. “This thing fights back,” he murmurs as he threads the strap through. “I could pick a lock easier.” I stare down at him, caught in a dizzying heat, wishing the shoe had ten buckles instead of one. “If you think that’s hard, try walking in them.” He laughs and looks up at me, his hands still holding my foot even though the strap is already fastened. It’s hardest to be near him when he looks at me like this: gentle yet scraping through me like sandpaper all the same.”
