Bruised

- I don't think it was just her body that you hurt. Sure, you probably tore her flesh. But it was mostly on the inside that you flayed her. Because I have a feeling that a woman to whom you would have opened your heart a little would never have left you like that.

Zion was silent for a moment.

- Maybe one day a woman will.

- I hope so. With that kind of overinflated ego, you need a similar failure just to get the balance of things right.

- Now you really should shut up Ivy or I'll tear your body apart even more than I did with her.

She was breathing heavily.

- Come if you dare.

- Provocation now? You don't think I could do it.

- I don't think so, I'm sure. It was her turn to laugh with amusement. Because deep down you're weak, Zion. Just weak. That's all.
