Her chest heaved up and down from the force of her anger, though not a drop of tear fell from her eyes. Yet.
Instead, they glistened in her eyes, teetering over the edge, hanging by the thread of her sheer stubbornness.
Her emotions were a complicated mix of grievance, disbelief, outrage, and hurt. She had never seen this coming at all.
