Shirley bit her red lip. There was something she had been unwilling to admit or acknowledge: her feelings toward Zacharias.

She wondered, uncertain. Do I like him?When did I become a woman who speaks one way and thinks another? She didn’t want to delve further into things she couldn’t figure out. Instead, she returned to her room, took a shower, and went to bed.
