"Aren't you supposed to know that?" I try so hard to look like she isn't making me lose my fucking mind, but even I'm not that good of an actor. "Even if you didn't have your pretty ability, I'm pretty sure my body's made it obvious what I want."

"It's always a game with you. Cat and mouse, give and take, rip and tear, never easy." When she glances up at me, I lock my eyes with hers. I can almost feel it, what it is she wants from me. She wants Samuel dead. She told me that already, but now it's burning in my gut the need she has for his destruction.

I'd ask her why she hates him so much, but I've met the bastard. "I want you to show me just what you're willing to do for me in exchange for me leaving you and yours alone? It's ask what you want for Samuel's death, but that's a given. I want him dead too."
