Theo appeared in the command center seemingly out of nowhere, clearly not just to see Vivian as Jerome had speculated, or to verify the authenticity of the information on Twitter with the girl.
Yet Jerome had sent gifts and welcomed Theo with an air of ownership, subtly asserting dominance over Vivian, which indeed seemed to provoke Theo successfully.
After a quiet day, the next day when Vivian hadn't arrived at the command center yet, she heard a man's voice behind her say, "Vivian."
Theo extinguished his cigarette and strode towards Vivian in a black coat.
Vivian, wrapped tightly in her down jacket, appeared colder than the winter temperatures.
"Are you with Jerome?" She asked.
At that, Vivian couldn't help but chuckle, "Are you here to demand answers?"
Her eyes held a mocking "What right do you have?" expression.
"He's not right for you," Theo stated.
This time, Vivian laughed outright, unwilling to waste another moment on him.
