He shifts his weight from one foot to the other,
scratches the back of his head,
opens his mouth to say something,
but closes it.
I can see his flustered face.
He can't keep up his facade anymore.
"What did They tell you?"
I sound resolute.
Unmoving.
Archer looks away.
A deep sigh,
a desperate look,
a deeper understanding.
I know he doesn't want me to question.
But I know,

"Tell me!"
His hand comes up to brush my left cheek.
I shiver at his touch.
Closing his eyes,
he says,
"You'll live, Tryst.
They'll let you live."
