Damn my stupid self! Why did I take Cameron back?
I'm too soft... I'll never get over him, I suppose.
Last night, I stood and watched him sleep... and I practically died from trying to control myself. It was like I wanted to torcher myself just by looking at him. Maybe I did...
The next day, Francois came to visit Christine in her lair. He was, however, unaware that Cameron was there, so he was therefore angered and shocked to see him sitting there on the sofa when he arrived.
His eyes widened when he saw Cameron sitting on the sofa, drinking Russian tea. Then he stood there for a moment, as though paralyzed.
"You," he finally gasped, pointing at Cameron. "What the bloody hell are you doing here?"
Cameron looked at him for a moment, then rose. "Hi, Jannes..."
Francois stared at him for a moment more, then clenched his hands into fists, angered. "Christine!"
Christine walked into the main part of the lair from the kitchen. "What? Hello, Francois; how are you?" Then she looked from Cameron to Francois, and everything registered. "Oh."
Without another word, Francois walked over to her, grabbed her arm roughly, and steered her into her bedroom, making her exclaim, "Oh, Francois... ouch! You're hurting me! Can you stop?"
Francois shut the door behind him with a thud. "What the hell are you doing?" he shouted. "You vain and stupid child, have you learned nothing from your past experiences? You had him come back to you? God, that's... stupid doesn't even describe it!"
When he was through ranting, she said quietly, "There's no need for such anger. I can assure you that I had nothing to do with Cameron's return."
"What then?" he demanded. "Explain yourself!"
She sighed. "Yesterday, he just ran down here, crying hysterically, and told me that he was sorry for what he'd done."
"Hmm... it seems that he's apologized to you for hurting you before! And what happened? He hurt you again! Don't you see, Christine? He's going to keep toying with you like this, and I don't want it... I don't want to be a part of it!"
Then he stormed out of the bedroom and left the lair without waiting for a reply.
