Meeting a rival

All the way to her apartment, Anne was silent as she remembered what Linda said earlier, when she told Linda the dilemma of choosing one of the two men who approached her.

"You can't be like that, Anne, they have limits of patience and heart. And you, as the one who happens to like them both, can't make them suffer like this. Choose one and reject the other gently so he won't hold a grudge. You don't want to be in their position, so you better be firm with your heart. Decide the one you will choose and makes you comfortable, don't make them suffer because they have to wait for an answer from you. Trust me, Anne, waiting for an answer from someone who you like is the most torturous thing."

Linda's words replayed in Anne's memory. Although Linda was playful and rarely talked seriously, but her words had really pierced Anne's heart now.
