“What is your name? What are you called?”

Oh. I guess I should be insulted that he’s never thought to ask until this point. Maybe I’ve got super-low expectations when it comes to Aron, because I’m kind of flattered he actually asked. “I told you before. My name is Faith.”

“You told me before, but I did not care before.” When I scowl at him, he arches that scarred brow at me. “Faith does not sound like a regular name. What is next? Door? Boat?”

“Okay, okay. Let’s just focus on the task at hand, all right?” I tell him tightly, and turn back to glaring out at the water.”

“It’s what you learn from the bad things that can determine the path you choose. If you embrace your scars and let them make you stronger, you might be able to open up and move beyond the pain.”

“I don’t belong in your world, Caleb.”

He reached for my hand and kissed it before he placed it on his cheek. He stared into my eyes and whispered, “How can you not belong in my world? You are my world.”

“Don't sit there thinking I'll be an easy lay. That's not me. You can take your fancy car and your thousand-dollar suit and shove them where the sun doesn't shine. I'm not for sale and if you try to take me, as you so eloquently put it, I'll cut off your dick and feed it to the birds like day-old bread, and I'll do it all with a fucking smile on my face.”
