Summary

Ah, delicious Diet Coke, fizzy and delectable Diet Coke. Michael's been drinking a lot of it, and he know it's poison but who says poison can't be delicious? Nobody, that's who. In the world of Wuthering Heights, we're still catching up on the childhood miseries of Heathcliff. Not for nothing, but if only he'd had a cold can of Diet Coke, maybe things would've worked out a little bit better.
