Her unapologetic behavior, so boldly indifferent, was the kind that typically made people recoil. Yet, for some reason, it sparked a twinge of admiration from the crowd.

The onlookers thought, She’s so cool, so fierce! What does a man even matter? If a girl’s good–looking, who needs one? Even Owen is completely captivated by her–why would she care about someone like Mateo?”
