But this time—
I don’t adjust my position.
I don’t step back.
I don’t reduce.
Even when I feel that subtle pull—
That hesitation—
That question ofshould I move closer or not?
I do it anyway.
Deliberate.
Controlled.
Choice.
Logan moves with me.
Not leading.
Not following.
Matching.
And just like that—
The pressure shifts.
Not gone.
But—
Contained.
Across the room, Keller doesn’t react.
Doesn’t move.
Doesn’t do anything at all.
And that’s exactly what makes him dangerous.
Because now I understand.
Sentinel isn’t trying to control what I do.
He’s trying to control what I hesitate to do.
And hesitation—
That’s the one thing I’ve never allowed.
Until now.
