The Outsider (Prudence/Beckett, Rose/Beckett)
She screams, she begs, she plots, she breaks priceless objects, earning herself painful blows, she mars his skin with long fingernails, she smiles, she offers herself up, her naked skin shining in the moonlight like the embodiment of temptation, she clings, she pushes, she moans, and then she cries herself to sleep every single night.
She’s tried everything but he never stays, not really. He might be hers by right, but his insatiable lust always drives him back to the other. The scum. A vermin from the gutters.
And Prudence is slowly running out of merciful ways of striking back.
