"You what?" Rick lifted her chin and asked. "You don't want to leave me?"
"No." Kendall nodded immediately. "I never wanted to. Rick, please believe me."
"If you don't want to leave me, prove it to me."

For some unknown reason, she was crying. She reached to reveal Rick's neck. Rick did not stop her. It was only when she pulled his shirt aside and revealed the hideous scar on his chest that he reached out and pressed his hand against hers.
"That's enough, Kendall," he called softly.
"What is this..." Kendall's face became paler, and there was no trace of blood on her cheeks.
"You can touch it."
