Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

Jacqueline reached out to tug on Shane’s sleeve but he withdrew his arm to avoid her touch, a disgusted look upon his face.

“I’m not the one you should be apologizing to, do you understand?” He stalked off.

Jacqueline gazed at his departing figure, her mouth half opened as if to speak. For some unknown reason, she thought the better of it and opted to remain silent.

She breathed in deeply and clenched her fists. Her eyes were hard to read.

I must find a way to obtain Shane’s forgiveness and repair his impression of me if it’s the last thing I do!

The family of four was having their dinner.

Jacqueline’s eyes grew cold as they had supped before having the courtesy to ask her. However, she put on a forced smile and joined them. Facing the teddy bear toward Sharon, Jacqueline said, “Sharon, I know that I have been mean to you. Will you forgive me? Here’s a cute teddy bear for you. Would you like to keep it?” She coaxed the child in her most alluring voice as she dangled the bear in front of Sharon.

Sharon merely let out a “Hmph!” and looked away without even a glance at the teddy bear. “No. I don’t want presents from mean people.”

Connor, who was sitting beside Sharon, failed to stifle a laugh.
