The shock on Annie’s face, the desperation in Jason’s voice—it hurt to see, but I knew it was necessary. The arrest was a performance, orchestrated with Michael’s help and the cooperation of the loc

“She's with me,” Bathory responded to Terence's lamentation. “She's only with you because she's making sweet ass. You know very well what women are like; they say no when deep down they want to say yes.” “You’re pretty confident, you know that? Just be careful that your trust doesn’t turn into abus
Laura “Do you both love or hate each other? It's time to get this story straight. Between hate and love, what will last? You two have a week to figure this out,” the content of the letter was saying. "What? One week?" I babbled confusedly as I read those very few words that barely gave us any cons
