Absolution

I might be a monster, but I'm her monster.
When a ghost from our past returns to threaten Abigail, I will do anything to protect her.
She says she doesn't want me to kill for her again, but I don't think I'm capable of mercy. Especially not when her safety is on the line.
Even though I'm a psychopath, I'm not delusional. After all my crimes, I'll never be worthy of her.
But I've been honest with her from the start: I'm too selfish to let her go.
I'll do whatever it takes to keep my little dove caged forever.
And I'll eliminate anyone who tries to take her from me.
I don't need absolution. I just need her.
