“I don’t want to hear it back. I don’t need to because the way this all happened was fucked up. I should have never done what I did to you, but I’m fucked up, Emerson. I’ll never be a good man.

“Not for the reasons you think. I don’t want to kill you, Emerson, but I’d love nothing more than to fucking hunt you down and do whatever I want to you.”

“And you think I wouldn’t let you do it?” she asks.

“Would you?”

“Till the day I die.”
