Surrender by Sam Mariano

SOPHIE
I knew better than to go to that party.
I would have been much happier curled up at home eating Halloween candy by myself, but I had Mom’s voice in my head telling me to make an effort now that I was in college, to put myself out there and socialize.
If I’d stayed home, I wouldn’t have met him.

SILVAN
Men have always committed atrocities chasing after their desires.
The men in my family have it down to an art form.
Personally, I’ve never experienced a desire that ran so deep it poisoned my soul.
Until the night I laid eyes on her.
It’s really too bad she didn’t feel the same way. It could have been a fairy tale.
I guess our story was meant to be something a little more twisted.
Oh well.
I desire Sophie Bradwell, and I don’t care how many terrible things I have to do to get her… and keep her.
