Chapter 5
One night, while out for dinner with Tom, Emily saw Jake across the room. Her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't take her eyes off him. Tom noticed her distraction and asked her what was wrong.
"I just saw Jake," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "I didn't expect to see him here."
Tom looked over at Jake and then back at Emily. "Do you still have feelings for him?" he asked gently.
Emily hesitated for a moment before nodding. "I don't know," she said. "I love you, Tom, but there's something about Jake that I can't get out of my head."
Tom reached across the table and took her hand. "I understand," he said. "But you have to make a choice, Emily. You can't keep stringing both of us along."
