Chapter 73: Intoxicated because of pain

Clare: Steve was a nice guy, I like him very much as a companion in the correction home, you always made me feel like someone insider. You were my only friend in the prison, but I never thought he will start liking me. Why should a prison guard start liking a prisoner? Because I claim to be innocent? Because he thinks I am not a murderer?

"What a joke, why would you like me?" I giggled and asked him.

"I am very serious Clare, trust me I am falling for you," he said and I started to think what to say next to avoid the conversation.

"Look Steve, I am just another prisoner in this correction home, you are a guard officer here, it doesn't look good you like me. You deserve to be with a beautiful girl with a good reputation" I said to him.

"I don't care what reputation you have in front of people who don't matter, I trust you that you are not a criminal and your innocence makes me fall for you," he said and I looked at the ground feeling special.
