There stood Annie, looking all furlong and alone like the weight of the world lay on her shoulders. Gorgeous to the eye with her petite piqué and flowing brown hair, she was the envy of all the girls in her town. The scorching sun was a welcome on her cold skin. The breeze caressed her face gently whipping her hair into a different style. Annie Gills, the one who had it all going for her. The prestige empire building loomed behind her, a glaring fact that comfort came with ease. Mc Knight and Sons Co. a bold name on the front letting the world see they were the best in the engineering business. Annie who preferred Ann was impatiently waiting on her boyfriend Keron Mc Knight. Silently fuming she glanced at her cartier diamond watch a late birthday gift from Keron, it showed he was fifteen minutes late. Pulling her phone out and tapping furiously on the screen, dialing the all too familiar number. On the road no sign of his vehicle.
Ann's face showed what her heart knew already, he was standing her up again. Head bend slightly down, gazing at the phone; with a sigh she turned and headed back inside the building. The doors shut quietly behind her as if it felt her pain in that moment and not to mock her. This lunch meeting was extremely important as it was one of the first that they would have leading up to their wedding. If life had told her this is how heartbroken she would be then being alone would be best. Walking slowly to the elevators and buried deep in thought she didn't see Max falling into step alongside her. "Having a rough day?" Max asked with concern. With no reply Max touched her shoulder, startled Ann looked to see who touched her and noticed Max. "Pardon me. did you say something? she softly asked. "Wow, that have to be some serious thoughts going on there, are you ok?". Max realized that it was Keron, the man who kept hurting Ann. He felt like he could punch him in the face for the pain he gave sweet Ann.
