Just my word is not enough? -Cute, but no. Everything we do will be in a contract millimetrically designed so that neither party takes advantage of the other.

I let it remind me who I had been and what had been done to me. I breathed in, slow and shallow. The air filled my lungs and burned the way truth does when it wakes you up from a safer, stupid sleep.
