Dwight tried to sidestep her, ready to leave.
"Wait," Rachel called out. "Since you've broken up with her, why don't we be together? I have feelings for you."
Dwight glanced at her briefly, his tone cold. "Don't waste your tin on me! I won't ever develop feelings for you." With that, he turned and walked away.

Rachel stomped her foot in frustration. She had fallen for him the moment she laid eyes on him, and she wasn't going to give up. Back at home, Halsey locked herself under the covers, crying for what felt like hours.
Just the thought of the things Dwight had said made her heart ache By the next day, she had a fever.
