Alicia’s POV:

I was shivering still minutes later after Mikael left.

How had I forgotten how scary he was? He was much taller than I was and unlike Acker, he never failed to make me appear smaller than him. I thought of the difference between Mikael’s and Acker. Apart from their clear physical differences, all my memories of Acker was of how safe be made me feel. Mikael… he was more terrifying to me and k thought he would end up hurting me one way or another.

Even when he was being nice, i mused to myself as I finally approached the breakfast table, I always felt like he was more of a predator, and I could clearly believe he was a dangerous man.

Acker never showed himself like that to me. I didn’t know whether that was a good thing or not but…

I realized what I was thinking about - comparing the two men?! Weren’t they BOTH just bad people? - and stopped myself entirely, facepalming.

Alicia, you’ve gone off the deep end.

Don’t forget yourself. You can afford to fall for their tricks ag
