"Look, I swear to the Supremes that I had no ulterior motives by wanting to get to know you. I wasn't looking for a target to bully or cut down, if anything, I hoped we would be friends, like actual friends." Damien pleaded as if it were his life on the line and not Aoni's.

Instead of the hazy black clouds I would see around people, there was nothing, just clear, open space…and that was when I knew I could finally meet someone who didn't want to use me for my status, or my family's money."
