Susie's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, the image of a heartbroken young woman starkly different from my own seasoned experiences with love.

Whether it was with Conrad or Ernest, my dealings in love and resentment were always straightforward, unlike Susie's hesitant longing.

Seeing her wounded expression, I ventured, "Did he say something that hurt you?"

She shook her head lightly. "He didn't reject me, but after I confessed my feelings, he just never showed up again."

That was rejection alright.

It seemed Mack's heart was still occupied by Judie Sears.

"How long has it been?" My fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"Three days!" Susie said, her eyes filling with tears. "I even regret confessing to him now. If I knew it would turn out this way, I wouldn't have done it. I don't want to lose his friendship. Even if he doesn't like me back, just being able to see him every day would be enough."

Her words were tinged with a heartbreaking humility, revealing the depth of her feelings for Mack.

"Have you been waiting for him these three days?" I finally understood why she was here reading books in the pouring rain and refused to leave.

"Yeah."

Such a foolish girl!
