"It's... a beautiful sun set, isn't it?" Nicole bitterly chuckles, her heart clenching as the hidden message masked by her appreciation of the sky turned into nothing more but a compliment.
It had been difficult for her for the last five months. No, it had always been difficult for her ever since she met you. You were nothing like her, and you didn't like her back, and it hurt her heart ever.
And then, there came your engagement. When you first announced this relevation, she felt utterly dejected. But she knew she had to accept, for what is her authority over your feelings? She was just a friend. She didn't have the rights to say what she doesn't like what's happening in your relationship. She's just a friend who'd have to hear you rambling about your fiance here and there.
