"Tyler, I agree to leave with you... I like the ocean, so let's settle down somewhere near the ocean, okay?"
"Can you remove my cuffs? I want to design our home."
"How does this design look? Do you want to make any amendments?"
Vicky put up a great act and appeared to be dreaming of their future together, so Tyler eventually started envisioning their lives together as well.
He had always been composed and realistic, so he was never one to fantasize about the future.
He let his guard down and found himself drowning in the idealistic picture she painted for their future, only to find out that everything was merely an act.
She escaped when he went outside and came close to truly getting away.
He was furious like he never was before, in a way that he had never felt even when he was tortured by his mother.
When Tyler caught her once again, Vicky stared at him with despair in her eyes.
"Why does it have to be me? Why?"
Tyler never asked why things were the way they were and had not considered what prompted him to be so obsessive over Vicky, so he was stunned by the question.
'Why, indeed?' He thought at the time. 'Why does it have to be her? Is it because of love? But love is fickle and cheap. She once claimed to love me, yet when she left me, she showed no trace of reluctance.'
