``From Avery: Eve, wonderful news! Yan already made his choice. Guess who it is? It's you! I knew you could do it! Next stop, prepare for the first meeting!``
Eve lied on the floor carpet.
She didn't know how. She didn't know why. She just found herself there. The text message popped up on her screen after she read Ambryan's last message.
.
``Yan: You really like to make things difficult, don't you? Very well. Like you said, if I really loved my mother, I would play along with her wishes. Will you not help me do as you suggested?``
.
She felt a blow to her gut.
Maybe that was how she ended up on the floor.
The two messages confirmed the ominous feeling. She knew the 'Tea vs Coffee' topic wouldn't last. She merely hoped her nonsensical talk would irritate him.
Yet…
"What the hell is going on?" Eve exasperated. She stared up the ceiling, ignoring both messages. The terms of her agreement haunted her. She had no room for rejection.
