For twenty years, Sophia Hawthorne rarely refused Victor Ashford anything. Homework, love letters, relationship crises, she handled it all. She was like a 24/7 customer service rep, always on call, never complaining. Her friends called her crazy. She would just smile and say, "We've known each other for twenty years. We're like family." But alone in the dark, she admitted she loved Victor. Ever since he chased away her bully at age six, that love had taken root, and grown too deep to ever pull out. Victor thought Sophia would always be there. He was used to her being in the background, quiet and steady. So when she finally turned and walked away, he panicked.
