Defiance In Her Eyes
Among the sea of faces, Lily stood out. When her eyes met mine, there was a flicker—something like defiance.
She didn’t look away this time but held my gaze. It confused me, this stubbornness, and yet intrigued me. What part of her story had I missed?
I couldn’t help but wonder if there was more here than just her rude behavior. Still, I kept things professional, deciding it was time for some one-on-one conversations later.
