To this day, Cid isn't quite sure how he won Vincent over. If you asked him, he'd done it with his handsome looks and irresistible Southern charm. If you asked Vincent, he probably wouldn't answer.

But they saw something inside each other that drew them together. Maybe it was the way that Cid always went out of his way to make sure that Vincent was all right; the way he desperately tried to draw a laugh from frowning lips. Maybe it was the way Vincent always looked so sad and alone, desperately needing love and laughter in his life.

Maybe.
