55 Tale of unrequited love

Dr. Owens had his unwavering attention on me as he patiently waits for me to share my unrequited love story.

"I need more wine for this," I refilled my glass. I took a sip and adjust myself in the armchair.

"So…." What I wanted to say got stuck in my mouth. "Maybe standing will be better." I haul to my feet with the glass of white wine in my grasp.

I puff out a breath and began. "You are right, I am in love with him. I have been shamelessly and miserable in love with William for two years now, but it's an unrequited love as you can see he is about to be my sister's husband." I shamelessly admit. I had to take another gulp of the wine because admitting that has awakened the pain in my chest.

I looked at Dr. Owens expecting his reaction but his expression remain subtle.

"That jerk is lucky he got your love," He says with much animosity.
