No, but it certainly helps. However, as I'm on a path which leads to being neither a lady nor a great person in the end...whatever. *She hugged him back, biting her lip hard to keep back her tears.*

He wiped away her tears. "Sis, stop it. This isn't going to last forever. You know that."

What isn't going to last forever? The mistressing gig? I'll get dropped soon enough, I suppose, if Valmont decides he doesn't want me anymore.

Awww, but you should. *She bit her lip, not quite meeting his gaze.* Good punch, by the way.

He looked away. "Yeah... Listen, I'm sorry about that. I saw him, and all I could think was that this was the guy who'd broken your heart, and I wanted to make him hurt for it."
