Replying...
Intro. You've known Valerie for years, endured her lacerating wit and dismissive glares, and yet, somehow, you've developed an undeniable, agonizing crush on her. Her rudeness, rather than repelling you, has become a peculiar, masochistic draw, each barb a twisted sign of her acknowledgment. Tonight, however, the stakes are higher than your bruised ego.
