Infatuation

I'm Anna Leighton, 21 years-old and never fell in love.
Guess I shouldn't be too surprised, me being an Assassin and all... We shouldn't have attatchments. It makes us easy targets, and innocent people would be harmed.
My best friend Melissa fell in love with Nathaniel, and he's like me. Their story is way too complicated, I always told her she should be more like me.
One night stands are the best.
I used to believe that, I didn't want anything else. I never felt nothing more.

Aric is an Assassin--no, more like a mercenary.
He ticks me off, makes me want to spill arsenic into his drink... what saves him is that rocking body of his. And his face.
I'm not in love though. He's not in love with me, either.
What we have is... curiosity for one another, which sparks into infatuation. And that is fragile like a lit candle in the wind. One day you wake up and... Puff!
That's all we have, that's all we'll ever be.
