I looked at Emily with a faint smile. “So, in your eyes, am I some kind of villain? Just because he gave up on you, do you think I’m going to act like I’ve won, gloat, and kick you while you’re down?”

Emily was taken aback.

I continued, “Love, at the end of the day, is just that. Don’t make it out to be something more than it is.”

Emily pulled herself together a bit and said with a wry smile, “But honestly, the moment you walked in, all I could think about was what kind of snarky thing I could say to make myself feel superior to you.”

I nodded. “I get it. It’s normal–everyone’s afraid of losing, and nobody wants to feel like they’re beneath someone else.”

Emily’s face twisted with pain as she buried her face in her hands. “Is there really no hope for me and him in this life?”

Emily was still at that age where she thought love was everything, and I wasn’t about to make fun of her for it.

“You’ll have to fight for it yourself,” I said, getting to my feet. “I just hope you can talk your dad into going easy on Nathan.”

Emily stared at me, looking heartbroken. “I even got down on my knees and begged my dad. He said if I did it again, he’d cut me off, say I had no backbone, and even break my legs.”

I was stunned for a moment. Emily was really hopelessly in love with Nathan.

I didn’t try to talk her out of it. Everyone had their own struggles.

Emily suddenly stood up and asked. “Do you like him, or do you love him
