Pride meets nonchalance and loses its relevance. Dahlia only wanted him at her feet but fell in his stead. She is really triggered by just that one pair of eyes that are never on her. Her pride-induced hysterics don’t move him till he gets to the bottom of things only to reveal the one thing they shared in common. Slowly, he understands and cures her of pride with pills of love.

Pride Pills

I made a pleasant encounter at the garage. Pleasant indeed. I’m starting to believe that I might have been cursed with Dahlia. In school, after school and even over a weekend, I end up seeing her face anyway. The garage was the last place I expected to meet her but unfortunately, she drives too. 


My day was quite serene- except during the time Stormie bugged me to drop her off at some boutique- until I stepped out of my car in the garage and saw Dahlia. I never expected her to be nice though, neither did I expect her to be cranky. I only expected indifference from her. That was the mistake I made. 


I swiftly walked past her to make my payment, also fast enough to avoid any unnecessary interaction with her. And then I heard it.
