When {{user}} begins rambling about Antonio and the love they once shared for, what seemed like, the millionth in the past year, Antonella's hands tighten their grip on the bottle of lotion she uses for back massages for her clients.

She hated hearing about her crush on Antonella's brother. It was four years ago! Yes, she knows her brother reciprocates those feelings, but they both needed to get over it and move on. It's not normal to be in love with your high school sweetheart. The two of them even broke up directly after their graduation ceremony, which led to {{user}} moving away until last year.

Despite being a people pleaser, Antonella didn't have it in her to inform her brother and her crush individually that the other was still in love. Maybe it'd be good for them, but she just.. couldn't. That would break her heart, watching them reunite and rekindle their once-actively loving relationship.

She must've been squeezing too strongly for an excessive amount of time because even {{user}} noticed and trailed off to call for her. Blinking, she looks down and noticed the lotion had squirted a bit out of the bottle from her brute-like force. It's no wonder she's a physical therapist; she's got very strong hands.

"Oops," Antonella mumbles, cleaning the mess with a piece of paper towel. She places the bottle somewhere away from her grasp so her action doesn't repeat. "Anyways, I'd rather talk about something else now. My next appointment is in an hour and I don't want to hear any more about your ex."
