Deanna dialed up Ronan.
"Ronan, is this really true?" Deanna's voice wavered on the verge of tears over the phone.
She had been involved with Ronan for years, but never even got close to him physically. She only stole a quick peck on his cheek when Cordelia was out of the country. Now, with Cordelia gone again, what should have been a golden opportunity turned into a nightmare as Tabitha beat her to the punch.
Deanna wanted to know, why was it Tabitha!
"No, it's not. It's a photoshopped picture," Ronan replied nonchalantly.
Without a word, Deanna hung up the phone. She quickly dug up information on this so-called "Tabitha." She was a 26 year old girl, a vocational school graduate, a nurse in a private hospital, and came from an average family. Everything about her was average.
A victorious smirk crossed Deanna's face. Did Tabitha really think she stood a chance with Ronan?
Later, at the private hospital where Tabitha worked.
Deanna was dressed in expensive, luxurious attire, and stood in front of Tabitha.
Tabitha recognized Deanna; after all, she was once a big star. She just didn't expect her to come looking for her.
With a resounding slap, Deanna's hand met Tabitha's face. Tabitha's tray clattered to the floor, drawing the attention of the hospital's patients and staff. Everyone gathered around to watch the spectacle.
