So, is by saying I scrabble to have what I have and claw to keep it, then I suppose I very much do as I please. I beg you look at me.
And though he could have. though I'd seen it happen to other girls, Nathaniel didn't shake me. And he didn't force my eyes to meet his. He simply said once more, "I beg you."
