Unlike Before

I no longer felt that stinging ache in my heart whenever I thought that Anthony would prefer my sister over me. Instead, I found myself hoping that seeing my sister would bring some relief to him and aid his recovery.

"

I guess I do owe it to him..." Diana replied pensively.

"It wouldn't kill for you to be nicer to him. He's was your fiance," I quickly reminded her.

"He's a good friend," Diana replied after a moment of silence in which she seemed to be considering something.

I decided not to push her any further. For better or for worse, the engagement that was set to unite our families was over. Everything went quite well and according to plan, but I found it hard to congratulate myself on my success every time that I set eyes on Anthony in the condition that he was in. I prayed that he would wake up soon and that he wouldn't take the fact that he is no longer engaged to my sister too hard.
