“Come on, Benjamin,” Janie’s eyes were brimming with tears. “How could you break my heart like this? What’s wrong with me?”

“This is none of your business,” Benjamin pulled Emmeline close to him. “I love Emma, and she can love me back. Who are you to interfere?”

“Benjamin, you’re misunderstanding!” Emmeline pushed him away and stood to the side, her face flushing. “I only see you as a brother, I won’t fall in love with you.”

“But that’s not set in stone,” Benjamin gazed at her deeply. “You don’t love Abel anymore, so why not give me a chance? We’re meant to be together, I don’t want to be your brother.”

His intense gaze left Emmeline unsure of what to say.

“Benjamin!” Abel’s anger boiled over and he threw a punch.

Benjamin deftly dodged Abel’s punch, feinting with a punch of his own and winking at him.

Abel was caught off guard, unsure of what Benjamin was up to.

In the moment of hesitation, Abel’s next punch never landed.
