Vera gasped for breathe as the weight of the situation crashed down on her, she stared at the faces before her gloomily.

The silent, piercing stares of her family members boring into her, their expressions and their faces scrunched at varying degrees ranging from shock to disgust - judging her actions, naivety, shame and disgrace they might think she had brought on them.

This dinner had been her undoing and it was Jessica... A girl from the countryside. She isn't reconciled with this result.
