Love Disguised

Charlene froze as Mabel's eyes met hers, the secret now exposed. "Mabel, let me explain," Charlene pleaded. 


Mabel's eyes widened, her expression shifting from shock to anger as she took in the revelation. "Emily? But you're... you're Charlene?" Mabel stuttered. 


"Please, Mabel, let me explain," Charlene pleaded, her eyes filled with regret. 


Mabel, however, wasn't ready to hear it. "Explain? How do you explain betraying our trust. Betraying his trust and playing with his feelings?" she snapped, her voice sharp. 


Charlene took a deep breath, attempting to compose herself. "It's not like that. I never meant to hurt him." 


"How could you not see this would hurt him? What game are you playing?" Mabel questioned, her disappointment evident. 


Charlene, feeling the weight of her actions, responded, "It's not a game. I... I just wanted to understand John better. I never meant for it to go this far." 


Mabel, still upset, folded her arms and huffed.
