Excerpt
from
Once
“What’s
the
answer?”
He
paused. “A switchblade.”
With
my fingertips, I reached out and traced the scar across his cheek.
“Did you win?”
He
removed my hand and closed his eyes. “Yes.”
I
slid his Book back to him. “This says we can find forgiveness.”
His
eyes still closed, his jaw clenched. He bowed his head. “It also
says ‘Thou shalt not kill.’”
I
took his hand in both of mine, petted his rough skin, and then
brought it to my lips. He had a talent for guiding invisibly, but I
didn’t know how to do that.
He
watched me again. His eyes were intense, like the black of the night
sky, and his forehead was furrowed, as if his emotions were
scattered, as if he was shocked at my reaction, as if he had been
sure his answer would drive me away. But I knew him. Already, I knew
him.
“You’re
still
a
good
person,”
I
said.
His
jaw clenched. “I’ve been trying to believe that.”
“I
have
faith
in
you.”
He
continued to watch me. His forehead never smoothed, as if he was
fighting for strength, but his eyes softened. He slid around the
booth, closer to me.
I
didn’t move, not sure what to do, what was right, what he wanted.
He
leaned closer.
I
only watched him.
He
touched his lips to my cheek, the faintest pressure. I struggled to
sit still, to keep my hands in my lap, not to grab hold of him. And
then his lips were gone, such brief contact that I couldn’t be sure
if he had actually kissed my cheek or if I wanted his contact so much
that I’d imagined it.
He
spoke in my ear. “You must be some kind of final test.”
My
heart pounded into my ribs, against the point of the blade. “Are
you going to pass?”
His
lips brushed against my jaw. “I don’t know.”
He
trailed to my neck, his mouth softly pressing. My hand curled into
his hair, the other on his shoulder, holding, clutching. His mouth
found mine, barely touching. His warmth invaded my head.
“God
give
me
strength,”
he
murmured.
The
door slid open, and the compartment filled with laughter.
He
closed his eyes. Then he slid away from me.
