“I began to question the world and other people from a young age. I suppose that gave me a sense of emotional distance, a lack of trust in future friendships and relationships; I would assume a friendly and open manner, a cloak of safety. The price you pay is a fear of commitment and all the loneliness that entails. I was quietly angry, always have been. I still feel it, but I’m working on it. If you’re anything like me you have to recognise this well of poison that we carry, isolate the reason why we’re always ready to spring up like a cobra and bite at any time, any place, anyone. Unless you deal with it you will always repeat the same disastrous mistakes. You’ve got to confront your demons.”

“Kovacs," Warwick growled against the back of my neck, the real man standing over me, ready to scoop me up at any moment if he needed to. At that moment, when the whole world felt against us, death snatching my friends and family from me like retribution, he had my back. Literally and figuratively. The sensation dug in so deep, realizing something like that went even beyond mates. A trust so absolute... love felt like a foolish word to utter. We went beyond words.”
