Chapter 3858 A Mother's Dark Side(Taboo Sex):>Ep29
- Stepping outside again with Emily felt like a victory, despite in many ways being the first step towards another defeat. A lost struggle with her decency, willpower, curiosity, and vulnerability. Danielle was under no illusions that she should not be smoking cigarettes with her teenage daughter, objectively speaking. But she was trying her best to consider all the reasons why this time was okay, and that it wouldn't represent a commitment to doing it again.
- It was a specious argument that wouldn't hold up to scrutinization, but it was enough to make her feel a little less guilty about what she was about to do.
- Emily reached into her little red leather purse and dug out her pack of cigarettes, shaking one out and placing it between her lips. She lit herself up easily, puffing a mouthful of smoke out before taking a strong drag and inhaling deeply. She extended her hand toward Danielle with the freshly lit cigarette burning between her fingers and Danielle accepted it between her own fingers. She noticed how her hand was shaking as she did and knew that it was just one more indication of how wrong she knew it was.
