Vivian's POV
Stress was bad. Vivian knew this. Many scientists across different fields had studied it at length and they had all come to that agreement. Too much stress on a plant could lead to it becoming stunted or not producing fruit anymore. Animals like chickens could even die from it. She'd even heard that the layers could even stop laying eggs.
For people the signs of stress often varied. Now Vivian had finally discovered what her own major stress symptom was. Apparently Vivian Rose was the kind to hallucinate when she was under a lot of pressure. Given how much she had been stressing herself by spending time with Bryce, and all of the strain she had just recently put herself under when thinking of ways to dodge him. It only made sense that her breaking point led to her seeing someone who was not there. Clearly she had missed him so much that her mind had decided to let her see him.
Staring at the man at her door, Vivian could not help but drink him in hungrily.
