I'm sorry. Divine probably wanted to be seen too but you were overshadowing her with your presence. Sometimes, things happen to set us free, I think the separation was better for the both of you, even though I know unlike charges attracts, so, she was someone who wanted to be seen too, then you guys repelled. I don't even know what I am saying right now. Excuse my blunders.
Good friends don’t hide things from each other. More reason why I introduced her to my course mates and other friends. So I don’t think she was overshadowed. You explain things to someone you call a friend and not gossip about them and term them “manipulative”. That’s bad.
