There Adrianna lays on her bed in the pristine August morning; where just three years ago her husband cheated on her. She’s been heart broken ever since and just like anyone else, she planned to have a life with her ex husband, Chad, but that dream soon came tumbling down very quickly when she found out he'd been having an affair with another women for a year. Also, she doesn't trust any man anymore let alone anyone. Well, she’s fine by herself; at least lately she's believed that. As she frantically in a hurry gets ready for work at the Editors Publishing INC. in New York City all she can think about is how horrific her day is going to be, and how she needed some coffee as soon as possible. Her routine is the same everyday: wake up early, make coffee, and get to work. The coffee machine seemed to be defective and that just …show more content…

It was confusing to her why she is so attached and feels this way, but she did used to love him. She tried to think about how, and why they broke up; his parents moved to the other side of Arizona, they made bad choices together, and our parents didn't approve of it, they thought we needed to focus on school. Adrianna hated her parents for that for the longest time, soon though, she got over it and life went on as it was, but she would never forget Nathaniel and what they used to have.

    She thinks that if she vandalizes his precious “souped-up four wheel drive” it will stop him from being unfaithful- to teach him a lesson. However, in “perfect” the thoughts haunt her mind as she realizes she serves no purpose to her boyfriend. “ I hear you talking 'bout her in your sleep”, she feels as if he’s distancing himself from her; as if he has lost the love he had for her; it can make any women feel defeated wondering what the other women is doing that has such of an effect on them. “I can taste her lipstick, it's like I'm kissing her, too”. She has reached a turning point in the relationship; she knows he is being unfaithful from the way he acts towards her, tasting her lipstick as she kisses him, when he says her name in his sleep.
