Chapter 104

• Leon tightened his grip, pushing his arm up across Johnny's shoulders and choking him against the glass to the point he started making strange guttural noises. She sparked into action. Taking the last few steps that kept them apart and pulled Leon back by the hem of his leather jacket. Unable to keep watching him pinning Johnny this way. He was on autopilot and caught in his fury.
• "Let him go. Stop hurting him. This isn't the way, Leon.... Let him go, please." Tears rolled down her flushed face, saturating her clothes with the sheer volume, realizing how much she was pulsating with adrenaline and fear. The whole scene was traumatizing to her wounded heart, and she was so out of her depth at beginning to let any of it sink in. Sophia loved them both in different ways and couldn't bear to see them like this.
• "You took her from me.... You watched me suffer... all the while knowing that you did this. You said nothing. You watched me break and believe I pushed her to do that...and yet, it was never her choice." Leon was lost in his misery and thoughts, and Johnny started clawing at his arms to fight back. He couldn't breathe while Leon had his forearm pressing against his throat and windpipe. His eyes bulging and face reddening several shades darker as he gasped out. Leon was mad enough to keep pushing if she didn't intervene.
