Her trembling fingers as she dialed Tania's number, her voice carrying a mix of vulnerability and desperation as she spoke. "Hey, Tania... Can we talk? I... I need to clear my mind and sort through all these emotions. I feel like I'm caught in a whirlwind, and I can't see a way out."
Tania's voice on the other end of the line was filled with concern. "Diana, of course. You know I'm always here for you. What happened? Are you okay?"
Diana let out a shaky breath, the weight of her emotions threatening to pull her under. "It's just... I saw Marcus come in with a rich young lady today, and suddenly I feel he has all he needs and wants, they look so compatible and good together that I feel stupid for wishing for him in the first place. I feel like I'm destined for misfortune, that I'll never measure up."
