She was afraid of him

The first moment they met, he showed her all she needed to know about him. Ruthless, thick-skinned, assertive – she could come up with all the adjectives to describe him, but they never seemed enough. Thinking that was it for them, she was astonished when circumstances forced her to live with him. In the beginning, it was more like forced coexistence, but as time passed, she began to see that there was a human behind the emotionless machine he was. The problem was, though: could she ever warm his cold heart?

He didn't think much of her

All he thought was that she was an angelic, sweet girl who was biting more than she could chew. He knew she was brave. She had a fire in her he could never put out. Being forced to live together, they learned the best and the worst about themselves. He presumed she would eventually learn her place, but things didn't progress the way he was hoping they would. She'd made a promise, after all, and her mind couldn't be changed about it.
