TWENTY-FIVE

SWEET REVENGE

The Devoted One

The idea had been brilliant. It created a sticky situation, made for some sweet revenge. And all it had taken was a few keyboard clicks.

The Devoted One could be furious about it, but instead the prank provided hope. It proved that the tactics were working, that the two still shared a connection, even if it was indirect and weak at the moment. But that connection could grow stronger. It would grow stronger.

The Devoted One was more determined now than ever.
