Flicking through her gallery, she came across a couple of painful pics. Happy and smiling, herself and Kevin. Looking back, with less rose tinted shades, she saw his wandering eye. The lack of engagement, the instant distraction that was guaranteed to catch his attention like a magnet to Iron filings.
Tapping, a few links a gallery of tagged pictures with Kevin formed. The timeline after their separation, with the confidence boost she'd given him. It was galling to see him move on...
Oddly flattering in a way, as Laura was proud of her intelligence, and subtle grace. While Kevin grew to love the gaudy and obvious. Proud to have a bimbo draped from his arm like the sluttiest bling! Chaffing at the rising rage, she fought to banish those dismissive thoughts and judgements. Certain, that ... Linda, had other features that attracted Kevin's attention beyond her bust that she flaunted like a grocer presenting her wares.
Laura's teeth ground, as she imagined Linda giggling at Kevin's witticisms, his observations open, sneering and unfunny. Laura realised the warning signs now... the accusations of being humourless, and needing to unwind, relax... display more flesh.
The revelation that the things she prided herself on, her intelligence, studiousness and drive. These were now the things that grated for Kevin, she shouldn't have been so blind-sided by his betrayal. So shocked and weeping from his cowardly text, and the instant replacement.

Grudgingly, Laura had to admit that Linda was attractive. That to that... superficial.... bit... she was...
Laura's finger trembled with rage, accidentally enlarging Linda's picture to fill the screen.
