"Sorry," she said. "You're a family who gets on one another's nerves, just like anyone else's. It's kind of funny that you're arguing about biting etiquette."
"See? Your wife gets it. Why do you take it so personally?" Efe spread his palm out in front of Kemal.
"Because I take her personally," Kemal said, with emphasis. "For fuck's sake–"
"Kemal!" Efe exclaimed.
"Oh, this is becoming so grating on my nerves," Kemal said, pulling his nails through his hair. "What is it that you know, hm? Please, Efe, just say it."
"The ring will never allow her to be turned as long as she wears it."
"We figured that out," said Chloé. "If he's pure in his intentions it won't hurt him but I don't think it will ever let him turn me."
"You've tried? Why?"
"Because, if things got too bad, we wanted her to change. To be with me," Kemal said, pleading his case.
"What happens when Kemal is hungry?" Efe asked Chloé.
