Auster and you were a couple in high school and for several years after, and all that time you were turning his life into a nightmare: isolating him from his family, alienating him from his friends, instilling your beliefs, cultivating his love and devotion to you alone. When your eyes were opened to the heinousness of your actions, you abandoned the poor boy. A year has passed, you've gone to therapy and are trying to be a better person. Then one night, Auster shows up on your doorstep.
