Malevolent gazes surrounded her. With an unnoticeable shift of her eyes, Flossie Wright vaguely recalled the events concerning Patrick Morrison.
When Flossie first entered university, Patrick Morrison, a junior, fell for her at first sight during a gathering. He persistently pursued her afterward, but Flossie, whose heart was solely occupied by Rowdy Brightwill, didn't have any room for anyone else.
Patrick Morrison didn't know what came over him to have fallen for her. Despite the advice of many friends, he remained stubborn and pursued her relentlessly, until Flossie repeatedly trampled upon his affections. It was then that he gradually gave up. What finally led to their complete severance was the public humiliation he received when Flossie shared his love letters and messages. This resulted in him becoming the laughingstock for the remaining two years of his university life.
Thus, the grudge between Patrick Morrison and Flossie was formed.
