The interviewer stopped scribbling on his notepad and looked up. “You stopped. Why?” he asked.

I had lulled myself into a day dream, a fond recollection. I breathed deeply. “Sorry. It's just I had forgotten what else happened on that helicopter, until now.” My stomach melted to the warm memory. It made my heart ache dully, and the steely emotional armor slowly fall apart.

“Was it something bad? Do you need a break Ms. Adams? Don't be ashamed to say so.”

I shook my head. “No, it's not bad. As a matter of fact, Mr. Payne had quite a sweet side, believe it or not.”

The interviewer looked confused. “I thought you said he betrayed you?”

I hesitated. “Well he did, but, I don't know, it's more complicated than that.”

The interviewer examined me for quite some time. He looked at me as if I was an alien. “So Mr. Payne had begun to develop some serious feelings for yo-.” he paused. “For Ms. Potters.” He made no attempt to mask the disbelief on his face. It was so judgmental it was all I could do not to reach over and slap him. Then I realized he had every right to feel that way. It was an impossible story. Sometimes I hardly believed it. Even now it seemed more like a distant dream than a memory. It was only the pain that reminded me it wasn't. No dream could hurt so exquisitely. Until now, I had believed it was Ian's fault. That he was the source of the pain. The more I told my story however, the less I believed that. I felt lost.

“Yes. There was a period when he would tell me he loved me on a regular basis.” I said, ashamed. How had I let things get so out of hand?

“I see...” the interviewer said, a smirk lingering on the corner of his mouth. He was already counting up the dollars he was going to make on this story. It made me nauseous, all of it did. “How did all of this come about?” the interviewer asked. “Was it your intention to seduce Mr. Payne?”

There was the question again, he thought I was some sort of monster. “For the second time no! The only thing I lied to Ia- Mr. Payne about was who I was, for the sake of the job. That was it.” I insisted.

“Right, right.” the interviewer said, nodding. “So when exactly did this budding relationship begin?” he asked.

I thought about the question, it was difficult to say. “Well, it started slowly, gradually. I think we were both attracted to each other from the beginning, how it escalated though, that's another story entirely.” I said as the memories overtook me.
