Ten o'clock! The sound of the clock moving was loud in her wars. With each tick, her blood boiled. She knew all along that today was the day.
She had known for years now that he would disappear and reappear again. However, this was the first time he stayed out this long.
She was worried for his well being. But the dominant feeling in her heart was uncertainty and insecurity.

Through the cracks, doubts, anger and resentment slipped through. Now she was filled to the brim by those. Her confidence went into the drain that day at the square.
She was humiliated by that girl. She didn't care that a bunch of strangers witnessed her disgrace. She would even forget it if he wasn't there.
