The Woes of an Unkempt Bed

Physicality

When he saw the changes to my “deep dark beauty,” to quote his surprisingly perfect English, all I knew was pain. It was the first time someone had raised a hand to me my entire life. I didn’t know what it felt like; there was no reaction till long after.

It’s strange, having someone else physically harm you. The strike told me a lot more about his character (not that I didn’t know what an absolute monster he was before); I vowed never to be the kind of person that resorted to violence. My cutting words would be hurt enough.
