When Abigail arrived outside Kelly's door, her façade began to crumble, and the tears she had been suppressing threatened to spill forth.
The door swung open, and as soon as Kelly caught sight of Abi's expression, a worried furrow etched across her face.
"What happened?" Kelly asked as she led her friend to the couch. "Did that Mr. Qinn do something bad to you? Tell me! What did that bastard do to you?!"
Sitting beside her and holding her hand, Kelly asked again. "What happened? What did that man do to you? Did he scare you?"
"He rejected me," Abi finally confessed.
Kelly fell silent, but inwardly she seethed with anger. Goddammit! Who does that bastard think he is to reject my precious Abi! Is that man blind?!! Damn right, he is! Or maybe, he's gay!! Yes! He is definitely gay!
