No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

The scene unfolding before me was unexpected, snapping me back to reality in an instant.

A woman stuck between two men... Frankly, it was awkward.

At that moment, I knew I had to make a choice to break this stalemate, and one thing was crystal clear: Dustin and I were a no-go.

"Dustin, I'm beat," I finally said.

That seemed to do the trick. Dustin tightened his grip on my hand for a moment before letting go.
