Victoria pretended not to notice him anymore.

Not his fit black suit, his sleek black shoes shined to perfection, nor his new stupid haircut.

She knew he did it just to spite her; she confessed to liking it when his hair would drift into his eyes, obscuring the blue with black.

Now it was clipped back, unable to go anywhere near his eyes.

Carlton would say he cut it because of "regulations", but she knew better.

She knew him.

He was trying to forget her and the love they once held for each other.

She still thought his new haircut was stupid.
