Description
Adeline knows how to influence other people’s emotions, but that ability falters before a persistent man who refuses to leave her alone. Though she asks him to keep his distance, he continues to watch and wait. He describes his fixation as an unexpected love that makes staying away impossible. Adeline experiences him as threatening and repellent, yet she is also drawn toward him. Their connection is marked by possessiveness and his disregard for her requests. Determined to continue watching until he can claim her for himself, he deepens the tension between her attraction, resistance, and desire for distance.
