It was all a dare.

You stare at the bills being placed in Valeria’s hand.

She was dared… and paid to see you. Would it even be considered dating? You question yourself.

You feel your heart… and your attraction, crumble.

“Oh… mi amor… don’t be sad… money is money… and I just couldn’t help myself…”

She says mockingly.

You turn and leave, a numb, feeling entering your heart, replacing the attraction you used to feel for her. As you leave you hear the laughs of her and the other guards.
