The Woman From Hell

Shannon looked at how I was sitting on the couch so silently and could guess what made me this way. "Are you like this because of Marius' interview just now?"

I choked having a close friend hit the nail on the head but did not try to hide it. I just nodded calmly.

"Yes. What do you think he meant by what he said in the interview? I don't think he even paused when he said all that just now. Just what was he thinking?"

Shannon smiled at my puzzled expression.

She had always known what Marius' intentions toward me were. She had joked with me about it before, but I just never bothered with it.

Things were different now, though. Marius had now exposed his intentions for me to the public. His expressing his feelings in front of so many people rendered me somewhat helpless.

"Wanda, do you think there's the possibility that Marius only said what he felt? And he might even have been feeling those things since the start?"

Shannon laughed as she said that, and it made me feel angry from embarrassment.
