| You'll Never Leave Me Again. |

"Quite the little adventure you had last night." I mused.
She stood there drenched to the bone. Dull drops of water fell to the floor from her sopping sleeve in a slow rhythm, like the beating of her heart. Both of her knees were bent slightly inward, and her face, hidden by dripping bangs, was colorless.
I continued, "I see you want to get wet."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Waking up, I greeted the morning. I couldn't be happier. I knew she'd be there waiting. Unlike the other mornings when uncertainty enveloped my chest, I'd rouse to find her bedroom empty, and pretend to never notice her sneaking in.

"Am I not good enough?!" I shouted at her. She wouldn't look into my eyes. I latched onto her chin, and jerked it up. Her wet hair was plastered to her face, and I clawed it out of the way. "One day," I began through gritted teeth, "you will lie beneath me and you will cry out my name with a passion you will be unable to suppress. One day, you will give yourself to me in every way, body and soul. You'll never leave me again"
I chuckled as she trembled. "Are you afraid?"
That night, she did scream my name. _______________________________________________________
"My lovely fish." I called, "Did you eat what I gave you for breakfast? It's your favorite." I peered into the tank. "Of course not, you never do. Not anymore." _______________________________________________________
I don't understand. I sat on the edge of my bed, face resting in my hand. I repeated this. It was what I wanted. "She'll never leave me now. She'll never leave. She can't leave me."
But she's gone.
