The longer, the better.

Fil liked Vincent since the first time she laid her eyes on him. That was when she was eight. Vincent only reciprocated her feelings when they were in high school; the time she was on the verge of giving up on him and ready to open her heart to those who showed an interest in her. 

Her relationship with Vincent was slow but steady. It took them a year of dating before they could hug each other because she was too shy. In the beginning, she was just awkward and messed her words around him. Time gave her plenty of room to feel comfortable around Vincent. 

So the development of her affair with Jackson was incredibly fast for her. 

Was it because it all started under different settings? Or was her age a huge factor?

Regardless, being too comfortable with him felt like a bad omen for her heart. She knew that and yet, she couldn't stop herself from watching him take over the kitchen and efficiently do everything with precision.
