CAPTOR

 Beck Merrick has signed a hundred folders for his father. This one holds a photograph of his dead best friend’s sister and what the firm will do to her family. He signs it. Then he drives to her door.

He calls it protection for one day. After that he stops pretending. He sets her coffee down the way a man sets down something he owns. He won’t tell her what happened to her brother. He won’t let her leave.

Greer figures out that he’ll never let her go. She decides she’s done waiting to be rescued.

She tells him she isn’t his. She tells him she’s staying. She means both.
