Re: Will./James/Pearl
James exhaled a sigh and gave a small shrug of his shoulders. "Maybe. Though honestly I would much rather... hurt her than touch her in a way the she enjoys." He laughed darkly. "That's the part that I miss, being cruel." He looked up at Will as he added, "Sounds like maybe that's the part you miss too." Will was just cruel in a different way, more mental than physical.
"I'm sorry, baby." His voice dropped to a near whisper. "Please don't be mad at me."
