1. The time he fell for the manipulative Helen Cutter.
Stephen Hart paced around out side a door. Too afraid to go in, but too intrigued to leave. It's something he should have done... leave. Stephen was not the type of guy to do something so impulsive; so wrong. Moral or otherwise. He knew what he was invited to do; what he wanted so badly to do... was wrong.
'I can't do this. She's my professor.' He thinks for the millionth time as he paces blindly in the hallway leading into his professor's office. 'She's married for God sakes. I can't...'
He suddenly stops and turns toward the door. He has a look of confusion in his eyes, but that look is replaced with one of thoughtfulness.
'...but she did say things hadn't been getting on between her and her husband for the longest time now.' Stephen closes his eyes briefly and shakes his head; as if the shaking would lead to a decision.
'And she does look amazing.' Stephen admitted to himself as he imagined the beautiful visage of Helen Cutter.
He opened his eyes and looked straight at the door. He walks up to it and knocks lightly.
'What are the chances that I'll ever even meet her husband?' He thinks as the figure of Helen Cutter appears when the door opens.
"Stephen your here." Helen says in shock. Obviously she was not aware of the mental battle that had just ensued for her young student. "I thought you had given up on us."
Stephen finally makes that decision and looks at her directly in the eyes. "No..." He says as he moves his hand up to her face and strokes her cheek lightly. "I just had some moral ties that I needed to cut loose."
At that moment, as he was lead into the small but comfortable office, Stephen's only thought had been:
'I shouldn't do this. I mustn't do this. I can't do this... but I will anyway.'
