Joyce opened her mouth. “W-What do I think of him?”

“Yes. Are you planning to accept Justin, or...”

“No. I cannot accept his feelings,” Joyce exclaimed. “I don't love him.

“Joyce, I know you don't love him. Stanley is the man you love, but you know how he is. The both of you will never end up together. As your best friend, I don't want to see you wallow in sorrow. I want you to be happy, so I hope you will turn your attention away from Stanley and look at the people around you. There are lots of other men out there worthy of your love.”

Natalie patted her shoulder. “Joyce, you have to understand, it's been a mistake from the start for the two of you. Stanley's never going to come around no matter how long you wait for him. He shouldn't be the only one in your eyes. Think about your parents. They wouldn't want to see you in so much pain because of Stanley. They hoped for you to find happiness in someone else's arms. I know you don't love Justin, but why don't you give him a chance and try to love him?”

“Try to love him?” Joyce lowered her gaze.

Natalie nodded. “Yes. Who knows? He might be the one for you. Didn't they all say it's better to get together with someone who loves you rather than someone you love? So Joyce, try stepping out of your comfort zone and give him a chance.”

Joyce's eyes dimmed as she shook her head. “No. That's not possible. I can't try to love someone new nor start a new relationship with someone else anymore.”
