She has made a subtle mention of the holiday. As far removed from its traditions as she finds herself, it still retains a significance for her. And I know why she has brought it up. It is a gift giving holiday. I know exactly what she wants from me.
I am not unaffected by this submission. It’s something I relish every time, that complete abandon to me. I would have it no other way. Whatever she gives, I will take. But she can withhold what she wants to. I never take what isn’t mine to have. Even at my most vile, I never caused this particular brand of pain. I’ve never had to. What I really want, I am persuasive enough to get in more delicate ways.
When it comes to us, people, they always acquiesce.
