The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Anya cried as she shook her head woefully. “No! I didn’t… Stop slandering me, Corinne! I swear, I only went for a drive and nothing more this morning. You seriously have to stop accusing me of things I didn’t do!”

Corinne expected her to react like that. “Tell me, Miss Anya. Between you and me, who is slandering whom? You were even willing to sacrifice Jeremy, the person you purportedly love the most, to destroy me. There seems to be no end to just how ruthless you can be!”

She quickly pretended to be on the verge of having a meltdown. “That’s enough! Please, stop. I swear I didn’t do any of the things you accused me of doing. I promise I won’t ever try to steal Jeremy away from you again, so please just stop all this! Have some mercy, Corinne. I… I… Okay, how about I slap myself? Will that make you forgive me? Will that make you hate me less?”

Without waiting for Corinne’s answer, she started slapping herself. Left and right. Left and right. Left and right. The slappings and her tears were seemingly endless.
