Chloe didn't like thinking about this growing feeling when she was working here. But she couldn't help it, at least not when Vernon showed an ounce of kindness to her, her heart would skip because she always wanted to be treated so gently by her ex-husband.

'Know your place, Chloe. Know your place.'
