The flood gates opened and there was no way for Galvin to stop them. He sat in silence staring, letting the others words bounce about his skull. Every time he tried the man pushed him away like were a toy no longer desired. Each time he tried to play by the rules his previous lovers set, there was disappointment. Now it was his fault for finding another way to jump the hurdle? He lied? He lied though he was not the one that set the rules. In a swift motion he pulled a stake from his pocket and lunged on the other, knocking them both down into the ground. He plunged the wood into the mans shoulder and let his hands circle around Ambrosia's neck. “I lied!” With each word his fingers pressed harder into the wind pipe. “I did 't break my own rules... I didn't break my rules! … ” At some point the blind rage turned into sobs. His voice dipped dangerously low. Galvin did not care if his life ended so long as it took the maniac beneath him. “I have never lied to you Ambrosia Garagin. I...” his fingers eased on the pressure around the mans neck. He felt foolish, like a dog trapped with a horrible owner. “I sill love you more then you will allow.”
