Jessica sounds like a bit of a bitch leading poor Deji on. And, you may want to amend the penultimate word to 'spoke'.

@bornben,if your fiction is for one of the prompts then it’s a good idea to link it in the comments. 😊

You’ve drawn an excellent character sketch of both Deji and Jessica. You’ve given us clear insight into the angst and fear associated with a heartfelt declaration of attraction.

It’s so hard to admit ones feelings because of the rejection we anticipate. Unfortunately, for Deji things don’t go too well but he can revel in the fact that Jessica doesn’t feel any better about the situation. Thanks for sharing your story with us on The Ink Well.

Amazing story you've got here. I felt jessica had the opportunity to tell deji she was already married but decided not to.
