Robin kept drinking, his voice laced with defeat, "I'm just... I'm losing faith in whatever it is me and her have. I don't know if I should keep this going or not." Suddenly, Diana exclaimed, "It's so hot in here!"

As she spoke, she peeled off her cardigan, revealing a black lace camisole underneath. The neckline was daringly low, exposing a swath of her pale skin. Robin's gaze faltered, momentarily dazzled. It wasn't the liquor that intoxicated him, but the moment itself.

Leaning closer, Diana poured him another glass. "Robin, don't beat yourself up. For all we know, Sophia and that Mr. Gilder might already be cozying up for the holidays. You're the only one hurting here." Robin scoffed, "Yeah, they're both from B City. They're probably together already."

"Robin!" Diana looked up at him, her eyes pools of autumn warmth. "It really pains me to see you like this. You're amazing, you know? You deserve so much better."

"What do you mean, 'better'?" Robin, caught in the earnest gaze of the girl before him, felt a wave of confusion.

With a look of tender concern, Diana edged closer, almost shyly. "Back in college, I looked up to you so much. And when I heard you moved to J City, I didn't hesitate for a second before quitting my job to come find you. Don't you understand what I'm trying to say?"

Robin's breath hitched, his gaze locked on Diana.

Diana moved in closer, her voice urgent, "I can be so much better for you than Sophia ever was. I can be the woman behind you, taking care of you, supporting you in everything."

She placed his hand on her chest, "Robin, we're meant to be!"

"Sophia betrayed you. She's with another man now!"

"She doesn't care about you. Why suffer for her?"
