Summary
It’s been a full year since Courier Six answered “Yes” when the Burned Man asked to accompany her with a quote from the Book of Ruth. Their mutual respect has turned into trust, and from trust into affection, but never has she given more than a kiss—and never has he pressed for more. He’s read scriptures to her often, through long nights and bad dreams and scathing pain, but none were so intimate as his whispers from the Song of Solomon. She thinks of them all day and watches him intently, wondering if she really does want what she thinks she does. When she finds him alone, undressing in their room... she finally decides that she does.
