On their second encounter, Morwenna treated Greta like a friend, sharing everything with her. She felt uneasy then, unsure how to deal with Stuart’s other side. But Greta told her, sincerity is enough. Despitehaving only met twice, Morwenna really liked Greta.When the phone connected, Greta’s cheerful voice came through, “Hey, cutie, remember me?”Morwenna replied warmly, “Of course, I remember, Greta.””That’s awesome! You remember me. Now, come on out. I’m waiting for you at your school’s basketball court.””What? Now? Greta, you… you’re at my school?””Yes.””But the dorm’s main door is locked.””I’ve already had someone open it. Just come down, I’m waiting at the basketball court. Got something to tell you.””Okay, I’ll come down right away.”Greta laughed, “You trust me just like that? Coming out in the middle of the night, aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you?” Morwenna said seriously, “No, Greta, you’re a good person.”Greta chuckled, bright and charming.Of course, if she knew Morwenna also considered Stuart a good person, she might not have laughed.Morwenna hung up and headed out.

I’ve got to make a basket today, it’s so frustrating!”Morwenna took the basketball, casually tossed it, and scored.Greta: “…”That seemed even more frustrating.Morwenna realized this might not have been the best move. She earnestly explained, “I’ve practiced before, so my aim is better. I couldn’t afford meat back then, so when I went hunting in the mountains, I learned to use a bow and slingshot. Over time, I got good at hitting targets, that’s why my aim is good.”Morwenna spoke sincerely, not wanting Greta to feel bad about their differences.Greta could tell, Morwenna had to hunt for a living in her childhood; what era was this for someone to live so harshly?

Greta realized Morwenna’s upbringing might have been tougher than imagined.Willing to reveal her poverty just to comfort her, she truly was a gem Stuart had found.Greta ruffled Morwenna’s hair, smiling, “Cutie, how can you be so adorable?”Morwenna didn’t know what she did to make Greta find her adorable.Greta pulled Morwenna to sit down on the steps nearby. “Morwenna, I came to tell you something.
