It was undeniable.
If Michael decided to force himself on Betty, he would undoubtedly succeed.
After all, Michael was a burly young man, far stronger and more physically capable than Betty.
Alone in a room with her, she stood no chance against him.
This thought alone filled me with dread.
Winning a woman's heart is what truly matters, and though force might achieve his immediate desires, it was far from the best approach.
Yet, in moments of desperation, force seemed like the only option left.
Michael had been waiting, biding his time, but now, cornered by his own frustrations, it seemed he might resort to this last, dark option.
By noon, as usual, Michael prepared a lavish lunch for Betty.
He carried it to her, and the room fell silent once more, giving me a moment to rest, though my mind was fraught with worry.
If something were to happen between Betty and Michael, I desperately hoped it wouldn't be through coercion.
