Ariana closed her eyes in despair, resting her head on her knees.
Her heart ached from the realization that she couldnât win Theodoreâs love.
She regretted demanding an answer from him.
Had she not asked, she might have clung to some positive expectations.
Now that she had her answer, she felt as if she were trapped in a never-ending alley.

She tried hard to sleep, but the hurtful words from Theodore kept replaying in her mind, making it impossible for her to rest.

With enthusiasm, Sarah playfully flirted with her over the phone.
Ariana indulged her, making a ki*sing sound.
Sarah chuckled before turing serious.
âI have fantastic news for you.
My performance has caught the attention of the organizers, and theyâve given me more airtime.

âThatâs amazing! Keep up the hard work, and Iâll attend the event to support you!â
Ariana was delighted to finally receive some positive news.
Though they hadnât met in person, Ariana could tell from Sarahâs voice that she was doing well.
They caught up on each otherâs lives, discussing recent events.
Eventually, Sarah sensed something was off with Ariana.
She inquired, âWhatâs bothering you? I can tell youâre not happy.

Ariana hesitated for a moment before telling the events of the evening.
