As she thought about those photos, Vivian felt nothing but shame and could not even face Finnick. She averted her gaze stubbornly.
However, the moment she turned her head, Finnick grabbed her roughly and forced her to look into his eyes.
“Vivian.” His voice was stern. “Don’t you dare look away.”
He paused, and then said, “I did see those photos. Someone probably installed a pinhole camera in the hotel room where that incident happened two years ago.”
Vivian thought the same. She nodded, kept quiet for a moment, and said while biting her lips, “I’m sorry.”
“For what?” Finnick growled.
“For how those photos might have made you feel,” Vivian whispered with her head low.
Her face was white as a sheet, and tears welled up in her eyes. Finnick’s heart ached.
Damn it. What is this feeling?
He had never felt this way about Vivian, be it now or ten years ago.
He forcefully lifted her face again and locked gazes with her.
“Remember this, Vivian.” he stared straight at her. “Never apologize for something you did not do.”
Finnick’s firm gaze had her momentarily dazed. She nodded.
“Alright then,” Finnick said, more light-heartedly this time, “It’s getting late. Let’s go home.”
In the elevator, Vivian asked after much hesitation, “Finnick, when you saw those photos, did you not doubt that they weren’t from the incident two years ago?”
Just like how Fabian immediately assumed that those had been recent photos of her with other men.
