Annie took a bite of the strawberry and had to close her eyes for a moment. They were so ripe and so juicy. It was like an explosion of flavor in her mouth.

"I want people to be happy, I do. Just not at the sake of my own happiness. It's selfish, I know, and I don't think that's going to change. I'm selfish now. Kind of. In some ways."
