Adam’s Choice

Adam had always had a crush on his best friend’s sister Jolene. She was beautiful and funny, and he couldn’t help but imagine what it would be like to date her.
One day, he finally asked her out, only to find out that she wasn’t interested in him romantically. She just said yes to make her brother mad. What a little twerp.
She turned out to be quite petty and childish. Adam was sorry he even bothered.
Adam was disappointed, but he realized that he valued their friendship more than anything, and they continued to be close friends.
