Six months ago, I measured my worth in blood and numbers.
Now I measure it in the trust Zoey places in me every time she offers me her body, her pain, herpleasure.
A monster still prowls inside me.
I’m still capable of the violence and cruelty that defined me for so long. But now letting that monster off its chain is a choice, not an inevitability.
Finally, there’s something worth salvaging.
I feel human for the first time in my life.
The irony isn’t lost on me. The thing I thought made me a monster, is what finally saved me.
Because whatever comes, whatever Bogota or the Torrino family or anyone else can throw at me, I won’t face it alone.
I’ll have Zoey at my side.
The woman who saw my darkest hunger and fed it…with love.
My salvation.
My damnation.
Myeverything.
