Yes, I was paid to cut his hair. The hair I’d stroke each night. I wish I hadn’t once I saw the pain he suffered.

I did love him. But for that moment when the scissors saw the moonlight, I was blinded by what life could be like if only I cut his rich locks.

See? Nobody ever asked me if I regreted it. They painted me as a horrible person.
