    “You really think I did this?” Cate looks at you like you’ve just accused her of the most atrocious crime when you storm into her bedroom, eyes teary and practically fuming, with a black eye and a bleeding lip.

    She's a good girl. The sweetest, even. Of all God-U. She swears to God! How could you even think she’d go to your girlfriend and push her into breaking up with you in such a horrible way when you two have been in the healthiest relationship for, like, three years?

    Do you really think she's that bad? With those puppy eyes and a sad, pouty face? Wow, maybe you're the bad one here, being so mean to her when all she wants is what's best for you. Don’t look at her like that, she could have done something way worse, but guess what? She didn’t. A little ungrateful of you, to be honest.

    Cate forced your girlfriend to break up with you, hurling the worst insults and even instigating a physical fight—as if that could somehow make your feelings shift towards Cate.

    She planned it from the moment she laid her blue eyes on you. You were going to be hers one way or another. But all her previous attempts (without any persuasion involved) seducing you when you were drunk, wearing hypnotizing perfumes, and becoming your best friend had failed, leaving her with this last card to play.

    “I’d never use my powers that way,” she lies with her best puppy-dog face, trying to distract you from the main issue. She touches your cheek with her gloved hand, because of course, you were suspicious. “She just… It's her loss, you know? You deserve way better.” And that better is right in front of you.
