Regina looked at herself in the mirror. She was dressed appropriately for her first internship out of law school, a pinstripe skirt and jacket over a dark purple blouse. And her only pair of designer heels, which her mother had given her as a graduation gift. She smiled at herself, her brown eyes sparkling. Graduation had been a great moment, despite being several years overdue.
Regina had gotten sidetracked during junior college, by the typical thing – a man. Two men really. In her sophomore year, she had been faced with an intense choice between two suitors. There was Daniel, on one hand- the sexy and popular prelaw star who also played on the football team. When Regina had slept with him after a party one night, she was instantly head over heels. But equally interesting was the more quiet, reserved and serious Robin. Robin wasn't as popular as Daniel, but he had a smoldering intensity that was undeniably sexy. He was also a prelaw student at the time.
He intimidated Regina in a way that excited her. She was drawn to him, despite the more obviously appealing Daniel. She and Robin dated before she became exclusive with Daniel, and she found herself bouncing between the two, not sure which one she liked more.
Finally Robin had told her "enough of this nonsense" He demanded that she choose one or the other. And she was a sophomore in college, not wise enough yet to see that Robin was obviously the better choice. She did what any stupid 20 year old would do. She chose Daniel.
