Fan Fiction |

How she was supposed to act in the drama with him was beyond her but Ariel knew that act she would have to. She had not worked so hard for so long to build up a reputation as a professional to let it all go to waste just because she was afraid.
After dinner, using a fictional appointment as an excuse, she rushed off, successfully avoiding talking to Mike.
Leaving a worried Mary at her car, Ariel drove home, feeling as though the world was constricting around her, feeling as though she might choke from the pressure and the tension that accumulated almost exponentially.
She reached her house and walked slowly to the front door, lost in thought. Suddenly she felt something/someone rush at her and she shrieked in surprise and perhaps a bit of fear.
