Unwritten Rules

Marcum

I'm done with women. Women can't handle me, and at my age, I'm not about to change.
Then I met Toi. Too young. Too vibrant. Too na ve.
I took her as payment for a debt owed. I didn't want to. I had to do it. I did it for her.
She was too vulnerable. She needs someone to watch over her, to keep her safe.
That's all this is. All it will ever be.
And then... we kissed.
