    “What?” I can barely think.

    “That you hate me,” he says, his voice hoarse. “Tell me that you hate me.”

    He hates you, I remind myself.

    “Kiss me again,” he says, drunk and foolish. “Kiss me until I am sick of it.”

    Maybe he hates you the more for it.

    After a moment, his eyes flutter closed. His voice falls to a whisper, as though he’s talking to himself. “If you’re the sickness, I suppose you can’t also be the cure.”

    He drifts off to sleep, but I am wide awake.”
