I tug my arm out of his grasp and turn to shoot him a glare. “No, I don’t think we do. We said what we had to say and now there’s nothing left to convince me otherwise that what you said earlier is bullshit.”

I listened to my head. It was the only logical part of me that didn’t want to get hurt more.
