“So decide, Dexter.”
My gaze sharpens just slightly.
“Are you going to regulate what she can handle…”
A beat.
“Or push her past it?”
@ALilBitOfDex@BitterSweetPea_@HitWithAHeart@ThrillOfChayse@ARareJule I don’t look away.
“So no,” I say quietly. “I’m not editing anything.”
Another beat.
“I’m telling you exactly what’s happening.”
My eyes flick once more to the injector, then back to him.
“You do have a window.”
A breath.
“But it’s not for answers.”

My gaze drops briefly to the injector in his hand, then returns to his eyes.
“But I’m not going to force it,” I add.
