Strength & Weakness

'Very well then. I shall be with this caller soon.' 

The vintner left the room and Gina began to dress her hair.

Only a few days back, she did not like her appearance, but suddenly, she saw herself as the most beautiful woman in Gerald.

She walked to the vintner's workroom and saw the man after her heart. She had not seen Richard in so long, but she never once forgot how he looked.

He was still as fine as he was the day he betrayed her.

Whatever was he calling on her for? Had he not told her that she was worthless to him already?

When Richard was given the option to lay with Gina in Ansley's presence or simply let Ansley lay with her, he chose the latter. That had shattered Gina's heart into a million pieces.

'Whatever are you doing here?' Gina was angry. She was very angry.

After Richard left, she did not feel so much anger toward him. But seeing him stand before her that evening reminded her of his betrayal.
