Eugene remained unmoved, his expression icy. “My first love never had a habit like that.”

Vivian let out a few coy, pleading whimpers, her face the picture of fragile innocence. "Mr. Winters, do you think I wanted any of this? I didn't have a choice. My dad's disabled, my mom died when I was four... I just wanted a normal life, maybe even finish school-"
