EVE POV
You know those moments when you're trying to be strong?
Trying to hold it together?
Well, I had that moment.
And then, Lucius decided to make everything ten times worse by being too damn irresistible.

Lucius, of course, was doing his usual brooding thing.
The firelight cast shadows on his face, making him look like he belonged in a vampire romance novel with a ridiculous amount of glitter on his skin. I should've known, should've sensed that things were about to go south. But no, apparently, I was too naïve or stupid or both.
