Fics like the furies are at home in the mirror

I knew by then the move he’d picked. He wouldn’t try to burn me into the microphone again. He wasn’t going to say my name or tell me again about the onions. Daniel wanted me to give myself away. He had with his typical unerring shrewdness identified my worst possible opponent and his best possible weapon: myself. He bent his head, then, to kiss me, tipping my chin up to meet him. I sat deathly still, heart pounding and mind racing. He kissed me soft this time, with none of the sweet viciousness of last night. I missed it, just like he meant, and I didn’t kiss him back. Before there had been all the wide night around us, birds and the trickle of the stream and drunken revelry to at least give the illusion of cover. Frank might or might not have heard us, but just now I had nothing to hide behind; I had to measure my every breath to be sure the wire didn’t pick up too much.
