He doesn't like that you and I are together.There was a hummingbird in my chest. The fluttering returned with a vengeance. We are not together.Aren't we?My breath caught as his hand slid up, skating over my ribs, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.Jensen's deep, low chuckle travelled across my throat. After this morning, we are most definitely together. We just haven't worked out the specifics of our together-ness.Together-ness is not a word.Now it is.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
