Jenna Says No
With no job and no family to turn to, Luke felt completely adrift. He tried calling Jenna, hoping to find some semblance of comfort in her company, but she wanted nothing to do with him. Their brief fling had ended as abruptly as it had started, leaving him feeling even more isolated. “Hey, Jenna, it’s Luke,” he had said nervously when she answered the phone. “Can we talk?” “Luke, I told you it was a mistake. I don’t want to see you again,” she replied curtly before hanging up.
Luke threw the phone across the room in frustration, watching as it bounced off the wall and landed on the floor with a thud. He buried his face in his hands, feeling the weight of his mistakes pressing down on him.
