"Why won't you believe me?" Vicky asked. "You've seen and met more people than I do, and you should know that people change. You only refuse to believe me because you don't want to accept reality as it is. Tyler, there really isn't a point in obsessing over the past... I know you're a better man than that."
"I won't believe you," Tyler repeated.
"What can I do to make you believe, then?"
Tyler fell into silence, and Vicky knew that Tyler was merely in denial.
"Tyler, we haven't dated for long, and you...don't really love me that much anyway. You are just frustrated that I dumped you, so—"
"No." He interrupted her. "It's not that."
"Is that so? You've never once said that you love me throughout the time we spent together."
Vicky had confessed her love to him on multiple occasions during their first anniversary, but Tyler simply held her close and kissed her in silence.
Vicky knew that Tyler was not a man who was used to showing his emotions and would never allow himself to say such romantic words, so she did not pay much mind to it at the time.
However, when one was looking for an excuse to end a relationship, even the smallest detail began to stand out.
Tyler held onto her wordlessly, and Vicky was not disappointed by his silence. She simply shoved him away, and he did not reach out for her again.
She walked out of the room and shot him one last glance to find him standing still with his eyes on the ground.
...
Regaining a certain level of freedom, Vicky scanned the house.
She was restrained in the house, and since there was a digital lock on the door, she could not get out without the password.
