I've been in love with my coworker Claire for years. She'd been cautious about relationships after a bad breakup, so I took my time showing her how much I cared. Then, finally, she said yes to a date. I was ecstatic.
I chose the perfect spot — a skating rink. Claire loved ice skating, and even though I was awful at it, I wanted the night to be special for her.
When we got on the ice, though, something felt… off. Claire kept cutting me off, tripping me up, and even shoving me so hard I fell. This wasn't the sweet, kind Claire I knew. Jokingly, I asked, "Are you trying to hurt me?" She looked at me, her face cold, and said, "Maybe."
Later, as we walked, she was silent while I awkwardly tried to lighten the mood. Suddenly, she blurted, "I can't believe you did this to me! I trusted you!"
I was floored. What was she talking about? Before I could ask, she continued, "I saw you!"😳👇
