Why was understanding him so hard? Zoe moved her shoulder back a little when he touched her. She looked at his hand and gave a short incredulous laugh through her tears. Even a sociopath would know how to take advantage of the situation. They wouldn't mean it, but they'd pretend to hold you and soothe you. But Greed was like an alien. He was still being honest. Which is when she liked him the most. And he kept trying, which was one of the things she loved about him. Not in the moment, no, but if he hadn't pushed so hard, she could have used logic and defenses and never fallen for him as much as she had. He didn't give up. And he didn't give up on her. Whenever she was ready to quit, he always gave her another shove.

So why did he want to stay?
