The Wrong Woman

Daniel and Sienna chatted about their families, coworkers, friends, and jobs. Sienna believed it was important to talk about these things in a relationship to get to know each other. Then, out of the blue, she brought up Daniel's ex-girlfriend. With curiosity, she asked, "What happened between you two?"

Daniel paused briefly before replying, "She was focused on moving up in her career, and her job had a strict no-dating policy, so we ended things."

Sienna felt a pang of discomfort. "So, you're saying you were the one who got dumped?"

First loves were often unforgettable, and she worried that if Daniel was the one who got dumped, he might still have feelings for his ex-girlfriend. Daniel responded with a casual hum.

Feeling anxious, she asked, "Have you fully moved on?"

Daniel gazed at her and pulled her close. With a smile, he replied, "If I hadn't moved on, I'd still be with her, right? Why would I choose to be with you?"

"I'm curious, too. What made you choose me?" Sienna snuggled closer, meeting his gaze.

He locked eyes with her and spoke without hesitation, "I'm genuinely fond of you. I've never felt this way about anyone before."

Feeling uncertain, she questioned, "Are you sure you're not experiencing Stockholm syndrome? I've been hard on you, even teasing you while taking care of you. Is that why you like me?" Daniel tousled her hair and kissed her forehead. "Since the day you arrived, I've known that was just your way of motivating me."
