Tris's POV:

My eyes open to a bright white light.

"Hey. You're up," Caleb says.

"Yea," I say squinting my eyes so it adjusts to the bright light.

Christina walks in.

"Hey," she says.

"Hey," I reply. "Um... Where's Tobias?"

"He said, he doesn't want to hurt you. He was out by the lake."

I get up.

"Tris. You're not well," Caleb says.

"Caleb, I'll be fine. You forget what faction I'm from?"

"Fine. Be. Careful."

I nod and walk to the lake.

I see him throwing rocks. Making them skip against the water.

"Tobias?"

He turns to me, startled.

"Tris," he says.

I walk over to him.

"Tris, stay there. I- I don't want to hurt you."

"Tobias. You won't hurt me."

I walk closer to him do there are six inches between us.

"You wouldn't," I finish.

"Did you forget who my father is?"

"Tobias. You are nothing like Marcus."

"I hurt you!"

"You were under brain control."

"But I was--"

"Tobias," I say and put my hand on his cheek. "Do you want to hurt me right now?"

"No. I would never hurt you."

"See?"

"Tris--"

"Tobias. Do you love me?"

"Yes. I love you."

"Then why would you want to hurt me?"

He sighs.

"Tobias. You would never hurt anyone that you love. I've known you long enough to know that."

I kiss him.

I pull back.

"Put a little passion into it," I say.

He laughs.

I kiss him again and this time he kisses back with a lot more passion.
