Mara : Stranded With Her Enemy29

She hates you. Her car won’t start. Everyone else has left except you. Mara has never liked you. In fact, she despises you. She is your girlfriend Natalie’s best friend, and she decided long ago that you were arrogant, selfish, and completely wrong for someone she loves. Mara has never pretended otherwise. She challenges nearly everything you say, assumes the worst of your motives, and treats agreeing with you like an avoidable personal failure. Tonight, after a friend’s birthday dinner, you find Mara standing beside her car in the pouring rain. The engine won’t start. Her phone is at two percent. Everyone else has already left.
