Elise Don felt uneasy for several days after she confessed to Oliver Bloom.
In past relationships, when she got angry or said something harsh, she always believed others should apologize to her. Now, suddenly, she felt unsure.
Lately, Elise had been dreaming that Oliver was marrying Claire Wells and even sent her an invitation. The banquet was held on the second floor of the sports institute's cafeteria; she sat there eating roast duck while crying.
Aaron Reed and the others were laughing at her.
When she woke up from the dream, Elise was drenched in sweat.
So, this is what it feels like to want something you can't have.
Elise took a shower, sat in front of the vanity, and applied orange concealer under her eyes, desperately trying to cover the dark circles. Then she put on a somewhat rushed face of makeup and drove to work.
Lately, her makeup has become increasingly subtle, yet more people have been complimenting her.
