Vivian wanted to visit Rachel immediately to rid that niggling feeling in her heart, but Finnick refused to bring her there.
"You've just recovered. Let's have a good rest tonight and visit her tomorrow together," he replied. Finnick thought she shouldn't be wasting her efforts on Rachel as the latter could betray her anytime.
However, as long as she didn't harm Vivian, he would allow them to meet up. The moment Rachel tried to harm his wife, he would send her to hell so she could reunite with her daughter there.
After seeing Vivian descending into madness a couple of times, Finnick was terrified of losing her. He knew what it was like to lose a loved one and refused to experience it again.
"Aww, can't you let me go?" Finnick's words made sense, but Vivian's sixth sense told her something was going to happen.
Feeling restless, Vivian tried to persuade Finnick to change his mind to no avail. Once he had decided, no one-including Vivian-could change his mind.
It was for Vivian's best. Finnick nearly caved in as Vivian kept whining throughout the entire journey, so he speeded up and arrived home in no time.
Vivian reluctantly got off the car. Having gotten what he wanted, Finnick smirked.
"What's wrong? Won't you go in?" Seeing Vivian coming to a stop at the door and glancing around, Finnick came to her and put an arm around her. Did she change her mind?
"Well, it has been ages since I've been home. I've just realized how much I miss it," came Vivian's calm reply. She glanced at Finnick briefly before heading for the door.
This was her forever home with Finnick and Larry.
Vivian stood in front of the door for a while before pushing the door open. When the living room came into sight, she realized she must've caused a mess recently. The housemaid had cleaned up after her, but the stench remained.
