“Tell me now or I’ll blow your brains out,” I say in a low, threatening tone and press the head of my handgun to the bottom of his throat. He doesn’t even blink. “No,” he says calmly and presses his forehead to mine, stealing a kiss and staring into my eyes, pleading silently for me to stop. “If you’re going to kill me, then do it. It’s not as easy as you’d think⁠—” Click. His eyes widen and I whisper softly against his lips, “Boom.” He smacks the empty gun out of my hand and glares at me. Horror spreads over his features. “Did you know it was empty? Fuck, Bunny, you make me so goddamn crazy.” He grips my jaw hard, hand trembling.”

“If I were human, I’d plow the nicest farm for you.’ He sounds completely sincere. ‘Better than anyone else’s. It would have golden pineapples, the juiciest grapes, and the most flavorful radishes in the entire world.’
I just stare at him, trying to figure out if he’s joking. I think he’s serious. ‘You haven’t been to a lot of farms, have you, Raffe? Most of us aren’t farmers anymore anyway.’
‘That wouldn’t diminish my little human commitment to you.”
