No, my Lia was a good girl. And once she met me, she would know what I had known all along. Every molecule in her body was mine. That heart, that soul… mine. She was going to fall in love with me, obsessively, dependably so. I would be the very center of her universe, so much so that she wouldn’t know how to survive without me. It would only be fair. After all, that was how it was for me.
