[Wait, did he mute the mic? Zachary, what did you say to her? Why are her ears so red!]

The trending topics were dominated with hashtags: "What Did Zachary Say During The Muted 30 Seconds", "Zachary Blushing".

After the show, I looked at the trending topics and couldn't help but laugh.

Zachary blushing? Hardly.

Only the tips of his ears were a bit red, just like they used to be when we kissed before.

But his face never turned red.

I was scrolling through my phone when Joshua angrily knocked it out of my hand, shattering the screen.

I frowned at him, feeling a bit impatient.

His expression showed hurt from my reaction, and he angrily demanded, "Lillian! Why didn't you choose me?"

I found Joshua's outburst somewhat absurd. Had he forgotten how he had treated me?

When I first met Joshua, I was standing in the rain.

In the pouring rain, he gave me a chance, but only to be Verna's stand-in while she was abroad.

I once delivered wine to them late at night to enhance their dates.

And what did Joshua do?

To make Verna smile, he poured the wine over my head.

It was a cold winter night and I was left shivering and soaked.
