They call me a playboy.
Society's pretty pet.
What they don't know is I'm so much more.
My only directive was to keep her hidden, and safe.
After everything she's been through I'm the last person to offer comfort and care.
I have little experience with either. Both of us have been broken by our pasts.
But mine is catching up to me, and I would deal with it as I usually do: with total decimation.
But that puts her in the crosshairs, and that's unacceptable.
Old wounds are peeled back for both of us, and it's time to face the darkness or she'll never be able to find the light.
As for me, nothing but darkness waits.
It's what I want.
It's what I deserve.
