Kate's heart pounded in her chest, her breath coming in short, sharp gasps. [I need to get a grip. I need to focus on my plan. But how can I when all I see is Jack and Jennifer together, laughing, flirting, having fun? It's like they're rubbing it in my face.]
She closed her eyes, trying to push the images away. [I can't let this get to me. I can't let them win. I need to stay strong, to remember why I'm doing this. But it's so hard when all I feel is this gnawing jealousy, this sense of loss.]
I couldn't help but chuckle inwardly as I listened to Kate's convoluted thoughts. She didn't realize that deep down, she just wanted to be with me.
She was making excuses, claiming she wanted to make her husband jealous, but she had forgotten one crucial detail: her husband wasn't even with her right now.
