[ For a moment, a beat of time that stretches for hours or passes in a minute, Billy is allowed. He is allowed to kiss her sweetly, leverage his height, his broad shoulders. She permits it.
Permits it until she doesn't. Can't.
Her grip tightens over his jaw in the exact same moment she bites him.
Not hard enough to draw blood. Just a sharp nip, a rebuttal telegraphed clearly between them. ]
