Mick isn't hungry. Not even close. He doesn't even make an attempt to pick at the food she was nodding towards.

Taint him? There's a genuine shock to his expression as his eyes snap towards Lisa. Jesus. He'd been his first. Loved him best over everything in the world. And Lenny thought he would somehow taint him? The monster that burned his whole family?

"He's my whole world. You know that Lise," he chokes.

Then she finishes the story and Mick feels physically sick. Recoils in utter horror. A hand raising to his mouth. "Jesus. Jesus Christ Lisa. How could he think that I'd.."

A sob tears free from his chest.

"I love him Lise. Christ. I fucking love him and if it weren't for you and and Lenny you know I'd have burned his ass into nothing by now for all the times he hurt you two."

Mick buries his face in his hands. "You two are all I got."
