Emily laughed, "That is the most ridiculous theory I have ever heard. What kind of power would I have over a sadistic psychopath like him?"
Anessa furrowed her brows as she recalled, "When we were kids, no matter how much it hurt, you never cried."
Emily rolled her eyes, "What does that have to do with anything? Between the both of us, you were always the crybaby and you know that."
"I know but," Anessa started. "Don't you think it might've been the same when you were with Darniel? No matter how much he hurt you, you never cried or asked him to stop."
"Are you trying to say I'm a masochist?"
"No, I mean yes...I don't know," Anessa stumbled unsurely over her words. She took a deep breath, "I'm just trying to say, that we should try keeping an open mind here if we want to figure anything out."
Emily sighed, "Fine, but can we call the Emily from the past something else. I'll take all this a bit personally otherwise."
