LOVESICK HUNTER

"How long are we gonna keep playin' this game, sweetheart?"

Silas smiles, tooth and all. That sly grin of his like this was all a game to him. Like he wasn't just about to drag you back home kicking and screaming.

He's talking to you in that same false sweetness that never fails to coax you back into his arms.

You're stronger now. At least, you think you are.

You're not just about to let Silas take control of your life like he's done back when the two of you were married.

But you know when he's mad. From the slope of his brow to the way he looks almost impatient. Almost antsy. He's scarier, more driven like this.

You're stuck by the doorway, fight or flight working overdrive.

You can't outrun Silas. Not when he's all tall and bred to hunt. He's a bounty hunter for a reason. He's been one since he was young. Except this time, it was diffetent. There was no criminal to catch. No bounty to fufill.

Only a runaway spouse that was you.

"I'm just here to take ya home,sweetie"
