Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

“If you knew that, why did you bother thanking me? Are you just rubbing it in my face?” Jacqueline broke in. “Are you trying to show off to me that you’re together with Shane?”

“I’m not!” Natalie retorted.

Jacqueline refused to believe her. Quivering, Jacqueline said, “Natalie, I’ve really been mistaken about you. Do you think you’re being fair to me?”

“What?” Natalie’s mouth twitched. Jacqueline’s harsh accusations left Natalie rather confounded.

Natalie nodded uncertainly. “I remember.”

That had occurred when Stanley was first admitted to the hospital following his accident. Jacqueline had come to visit Stanley and bumped into Natalie instead. Jacqueline had issued that warning to Natalie then.

Jacqueline’s voice rose. “If you remember, then why aren’t you doing it? You’re not being fair to me. I love Shane. I’d loved him ever since we were little. You knew this for a fact, yet you still went ahead and got together with him! You’re really adamant about being a third party, aren’t you?”

Upon hearing the charges that Jacqueline had flung to her, Natalie felt a twinge of guilt. Lowering her eyes, she said, “I’m sorry, Ms. Graham. I never had the intention to do this, but things happened along the way. Besides, I don’t think I’ve ruined any relationship between Mr. Shane and you.”

“Really?” Jacqueline almost choked with anger. “Are you trying to say that you don’t think you’ve snatched Shane away from me?”
