GI

She isn’t the girl who immediately sees through him. She’s actually drawn to him. Lucien is charming, attentive, confident and knows exactly how to make someone feel wanted. She enjoys his attention. She likes the gifts, the late-night conversations, the way he seems to know exactly what to say. And Lucien knows it. That’s what makes the relationship dangerous. At first, he isn’t in love with her at all. She’s simply interesting. A beautiful girl from a respectable family who happens to be easy to charm and even easier to make curious. He gives her a little attention. Then a little more. A thoughtful gift here. A favor there. A secret whispered into her ear. Nothing that seems significant on its own. But every interaction is deliberate. He’s slowly creating a relationship where she begins to associate him with excitement, comfort, attention and validation. And when she starts wanting more? That’s when he knows the game is working.
