   Summary

   He knew exactly what Akram was. Knew he would never harm him. Intentionally.

   He held the thought carefully, checked it for cracks, because it mattered that it was true. It was true.

   But.

   Carl is learning the many shapes of Akram’s hands — what they do for him. What they do to him. An open palm. A hand held in the dark. A finger on a trigger. A thumb against his pulse.

   It’s all a question of pressure.
