Love Burned, She Rose Unscathed

It was Murray who had let go first, and just when Roseanne was coming to terms with it, ready to step out from under the shadow of their past, he suddenly decided he wanted her back.

Wasn't that just hilarious?

"Murray, stop bothering me. Don't make me start disliking you," she said with a resolve that was sharp enough to cut through all of his confidence.

"Anne... please don't be like this," he pleaded.

But Roseanne just looked at him, her expression as calm as a still lake.

"I've cleared all the hurdles between us. Even my mom agrees. Just say the word, and we can head down to the city hall to tie the knot!"

Roseanne was unimpressed. "I'm not interested."

His so-called "solution" was nothing but a fool's errand.

"Anne..."

"I'm busy. I have to go."

With that, she walked past him, leaving him frozen in place.
