The day they found out..." "Mi tell yuh already - yuh playin' wid fire, and when it start bun, nuh water can out it. Yuh deh deh lie down wid dog, and now di flea dem tek ova yuh soul. Yuh gone too far, and trust mi... dis deeper dan love - dis a grave yuh dig wid yuh own heart. Yuh a disgrace. Him? Him naw love yuh. Him a go bruk yuh, twist yuh, and lef yuh fi dead same place like dem careless gyal dem weh drop out down a Big Tree. Mi warn yuh mada fi tek yuh, but now? Yuh turn out worse dan she ever did. At least she did have sense fi know when fi stop. But yuh? Yuh blind by sweetness and walking straight into yuh own funeral."

Even though I don't look up right away, I feel him. His presence shifts the air, makes it heavier, like the sky right before a storm. A shiver runs down my spine, but I shake it off. I can sense he's here to handle our unfinished business, and I know he won't hold his tongue this time, not without our audience from earlier to keep him in check. "Why yuh really come back Jodie?" He's blunt, as always, and I can tell he's revving up for a fight. Him lucky. "I love Ms. Iva and I respect her for what she does, but dem neva send yuh gah school fi sell yam dung a market...Why'd you leave Kingston?" "I told you already, I'm using my PTO Knox" I dispose of the water into the grass, setting the wash basin up against the tank. He scoffs. "Liad, yuh done tell dah one deh already, betta yuh come up wid a next one." His eyes are daring, challenging me to come clean, but I can't. "Why you cyaa juss believe me? What's so suspicious about me needing time away from work?" I push past him, not yet ready to dive so deep into the unknown. He grabs my wrist, pulling me into his chest and trapping me there. The warmth of him seeps into me, setting off a fire under my skin. He doesn't ease up, but the pressure does something to me that I can't shake. I tell myself to take a step back, create some space, but I don't. I won't. "Because me know yuh, Jodie. Better than I know myself. I know you..." He presses his index fingers to his heart, his breath shallow as it cascades across my collarbone. "I thought we were better than this, I thought we could tell each other anything" I shake my head, my eyes closing as I inhale his scent, it's uniquely him. It's dangerous how familiar it is, how it makes my chest ache. I hate him for making me feel like this, I hate myself for wanting to be even closer than we are now.
