"Ma chérie, you were mine long before you saw the madness in my eyes."
Maddy is slowly deteriorating, finally succumbing to the parasite that owns her. She craves a change, before it is too late for her.
Adrian might just be that change, but he has...
You and I walk a fragile line. I have known it all this time, But I never thought I'd live to see it break. It's getting dark and its all too quiet, And I can't trust anything now. And its comin' over you like its all a big mistake.
- Haunted, Taylor Swift
"This smells heavenly." Moaned Olivia.
Maddy glanced around the store that they were in, and was thankful that no one heard that.
Their school had just ended for the day, and Olivia suggested that she and Maddy visit this vintage shop she found while "wandering" a few days ago, which was her "nice verb" in substitute for getting lost.
Maddy was a little reserved on how she felt about visiting a new place in a relatively deserted area. But, she had to admit, the store was impeccable.
Magnificent perfume bottles adorned the shelves of the fragrance corner, and the decor was cozy yet elegant.
She loved it.
Suddenly, Olivia stopped for a second, completely freezing, then blurted, "Someone just walked on my grave." After that, she went back to admiring the bottle.
Maddison stared dumbly at her, she muttered after a while, "You just insulted the past, present and future all in one sentence. You do know that, right?"
Used to Maddy's buzzkill attitude, Olivia just mumbled a 'whatever', and held up the bottle to shine light through its crystal body.
Then, Maddy turned to Olivia, said "Gimme, let me judge." And held out her hands.
Olivia smiled and handed her the perfume bottle.
It was a clear bottle. It's main body was ellipsoid, and it was almost the size of Maddy's hand, and had clear light pink liquid in it.

Maddison tried to spray it in the air, but accidentally got all of it in her eye.
Instantly, fresh scent of lavender filled her nose, and right eye.
Her eye burned painfully.
"Ohhh! It ducking stings." She excalimed.
Olivia was hysterically laughing on the side.
Maddison blinked painfully, but the torture did not subside.
She then ran out of the aisle, and towards the direction of the restroom.

Adrian could not stay away from her.
He tried, he really did.
But his resolve shattered the very next day after he texted her that going out would be a bad idea.
