"If you hadn't pointed it out, I never would have noticed."

Melanie groaned in frustration and flicked Daphne's forehead again.

"How can you be this oblivious?"

Daphne just offered a sheepish grin, rubbing her head before taking another long pull of her beer.

Melanie fell silent.

She suspected Daphne's dynamic with Everett had conditioned her to accept the bare minimum.

Because she was so used to sacrificing her own needs, Sam simply asking for her opinion felt like ultimate respect.

Sam manipulated her under the guise of caring, and Daphne, already conditioned to take the submissive role in a relationship, hadn't even realized she was being controlled.

"Daphne, do you actually like Sam?"

Daphne blinked, then nodded firmly.

"Yeah, I do!"

If she didn't, she never would have accepted his confession. She wasn't the type to play with someone's feelings.

Deep down, however, she couldn't entirely distinguish if her affection for Sam was the romantic love of a partner or the blind adoration of a fan.
