Elle was not normal, she definitely had not had any kind of a normal upbringing. Her father had treated her like a tool and he’d pushed her so hard all of the time. It had not been an easy way for her to live, but it was all she’d known, since she was a little girl. At 24, she was experiencing some very new things. She was free here, she could do what she wanted and make her own choices. No one was holding her back.
She’d liked Peter from the moment she saw him, he was so cute and she just wanted to cuddle with him and shock him. That was how she showed that she liked him. It might have been a bit sadistic and messed up, but it was part of who she was, so she couldn’t help it.
She couldn’t help but continue to smile at him. He was the sweetest guy. He’d done all of this for her, and she couldn’t ask for more. Really, this was too much. When she was with Peter, she really felt like she was part of something good. She nodded, when he spoke about his brother. He probably really missed him. Elle didn’t have anyone back home, not that she really missed anyway.
He caught her off-guard a bit when he kissed her, she hadn’t been expecting it, but she didn’t push him away either. She kissed him back gently, not shocking him, even though she was slightly tempted.
