A dagger through the heart
Devastated.
That was the only word that could truly portray how she felt. Clarissa Harlin, an orphan who thought she had crossed the bridge of misfortune stared miserably as the life she had spent all her time nurturing wither.
The question, "How could you?" pierced through her heart, shattering her entire world into countless shards. Utterly speechless and in a state of shock, she stared at him, unable to form a coherent response. It felt as though her entire being was in a trace.
"You are despicable!" He spat.
As Alec abruptly left the house, she experienced an intense surge of panic, feeling as though her heart might burst out of her chest.

So she made a false reality in her mind, convincing herself that it was all just a terrible dream, a nightmare from which she would soon wake up. Even though the painful reality was glaring right at her!
