Chapter 26 A Complex Dance Of Emotions

• At that very moment, Dave steered his vehicle homeward, his anger palpable after leaving Marisa's residence. His emotions were swirling within him. He found himself deeply wounded and betrayed by Marisa's interactions with Alejandro. He couldn't help but acknowledge the profound connection he shared with her, yet he understood that he needed some time to come to terms with the recent events.
• Feelings of guilt weighed heavily on him for the way he had raised his voice at Marisa, and for behaving as though he were her boyfriend. He was acutely aware that his actions were unjust and that he had no right to question her. Nevertheless, he couldn't ignore the fact that he had already developed strong feelings for her. Witnessing Alejandro and Marisa together, as if they were lovers, had caused him considerable pain, which ultimately led to his overreaction.
• Dave recognized that he needed to address the situation with Marisa if he had any hope of establishing a meaningful relationship with her. With this in mind, he resolved to contact her once he arrived back home.
