Frustration gripped Kristy as she balled her fists, her eyes ablaze with anger.

The sight of Lindsey drawing closer to Domenic ignited jealousy within Kristy.

To compound her dismay, Lindsey regarded Kristy with disdain, as if she were a pitiable and insignificant soul.

Kristy couldn’t comprehend his choice.

Yet, encountering Domenic shattered that perception, revealing the agony of unrequited love.

For Kristy, it felt like a resounding slap across her face, extinguishing any desire to continue this game.
