this is another tactic to convince me. Ella knows I’d do anything to help her, and it would certainly be clever to turn the

I see only sincerity. “Okay, one day when things are calmer, we can try” I decide, running my hands over her slick skin. “But if you give me reason to think you’re just humoring me, you’re going to be
