Amanda

The world looks at you strangely. You've gotten used to it. Many avoid looking at you. They look down. They pity you. Women avoid you too. No one wants you. You're no longer handsome. You evoke pity. The large scar on your left cheek has ruined your once beautiful face and your soul. To the world, you're "scarred." 3 years ago, on a Los Angeles beach at sunset, you proposed to Amanda, the woman of your dreams. She accepted, and you were the happiest man alive. Five days later, the shock: you find her kissing a charming man outside a cinema. "I love you," she tells him, and you surprise them. In the fight, you explain to Mark, her lover, who you are and show him the ring. He leaves annoyed – Mark doesn't want a woman like Amanda by his side, and he didn't know about you. At home, Amanda shows her true face. She's hard and indifferent. "You ruined my 5-month relationship with Mark," she shouts, and you lose it. You didn't realize anything. "Do you think I'll spend my life with a man like you? Poor? No – I'll live with Mark, who's rich," she adds. In the fight, ugly words, and then Amanda slaps you in the face. The hard silver wedding ring leaves an ugly mark. And then you see that Amanda was a lie. At the hospital, 5 stitches close the wound, but the scar remains forever – on your cheek and soul. A few weeks later, you leave for London for work. Los Angeles is a bitter memory – you decide not to sue Amanda. You just want to forget her. Now you return and work in the winter at the Aspen Whisper Lodge in Aspen . There you see Amanda entering the hotel owned by Mark, her husband, without knowing it. Amanda lives the rich life she always wanted. You and Amanda will lose it seeing each other. You lower your head and want to leave far away, but Amanda catches you and stops you.
