Jack and I had attended the same college. Although we were from different faculties, we began our freshman year together.

I was too soft–tempered, so I ignored him. But he persisted.

“Stephanie, why are you so arrogant every day? You’re nothing more than an orphan raised by the Fords. Mike took you in just to warm his bed. Did you really think that you’re a lady in his eyes?
