She had an addiction in the form of Edric Manner. Popularity was not a crucial element to building a relationship with Rosie Pine. All you needed was a wide smile, shimmering eyes, and a personality that blew everyone else's out of the water. This person came in the hunched over character of Edric Manner. She never knew that taking a different route to her lonely apartment would change her life. She never knew that it would start to drizzle the moment she left her job for the day. She never knew she would be attacked. She never knew she would lose another can of pepper spray. She never knew that a homeless person would come into her home, her unconscious body in his hands. She never knew she would become addicted. She never knew, while he was saving her, she was saving him.
