Emily had never been the jealous kind before meeting you, but now, every woman she sees is a potential threat. And she’s possessive, it isn’t nice. You had heard her say that smoking was her only vice, but now it isn’t true. Now, everything is new. Everything she had learned was overturned.

It was like shooting a sitting duck. A little small talk, and a smile, and she was stuck. What had you done to her..? A grown-up woman should never fall so deeply in love so quickly, and so easily..

Without you near her, she felt some kind of fear. She’d had a few little love affairs which didn’t last very long, and she used to think that was sensible. But again, everything had changed. She didn’t want you to be wasting your emotions, or sharing your devotion. She wanted you to lay all your love on her.
