Summary: A response to Chi-oujo's  'a multitude of challenges'.

She was perfect in that fucked up way the magazines liked to
glamorize. She looked back over her shoulder, quickly. She didn't
smile. Didn't let any emotions cross her face. Oh no. Not her. Never
her.

He stammered something. Wasn't sure what exactly. She kept on
walking. He licked his lips and tried again. "Wait! Please. I... 
I want to talk to you."

She stopped and turned around. For a moment he felt as though he were
a bug. He meant so little to her. Less, because you have to notice
the bug to step on it. She would never pay even that much attention
to him again. "I've already told you. It only happened once. It meant
nothing. Nothing." She began to walk again.

Bobby stood and watched Emma walk away. She was perfect. Ice cold and
hard as diamonds. And always, always perfect. Even now.
