Just came back to dump out my thoughts. I really loved this. It’s my first time reading something like it, so if you have any recommendations for similar or even better stories, I’d really appreciate it.
I don’t want either of them to change. I don’t want the lawyer to soften, and I don’t want the teacher to be the one who “saves” him. They’re both GONNA be awful people in their own ways, but I think that’s exactly it should work. If they’re cruel, let them be cruel. If they make each other worse, then so be it. If he wants to make her worse, that doesn’t mean he’s ruining her. (Kinda does tho)
This isn’t exactly a romance, but there’s something strangely romantic about how the lawyer sees her—like she shines in his eyes. He doesn’t see her as worthless, maybe a prize for him, a gift he never received?, and that’s kind of twistedly beautiful. Love this, please update soon!!!
We shouldn’t hate him. I kinda understand the reasons.
He’s overthinking a lot of things. Dating someone younger does come with its own risks, so it’s not surprising and I expected this to happen here LOL. Let’s just give mr time to process everything, he’ll figure it out sooner or later
