"Alright, I do not know how to say this. I am sorry brother but... I heard at the meeting that the woman you feel for, Nettie... She has announced she was seeing someone . And it isn't you.' She looked at him and her eyes showed her anger. "She said it right in front of me. I am so sorry, she is cheating on you. Or she didn't even consider you worthy enough to count. That is ... beyond insulting. I wanted to kill her on the spot. But I promised you I wouldn't." Her hands were shaking she was so furious, she had to take a deep breath to calm herself.

"I would say speak to her, but I do not think she deserves you and to treat you and me like this. I knew she could use a bit more in her lessons, but to be so callous and cruel to you. That feels so unforgivable." She reached out to place a hand on his shoulder.

"I had to tell you before I did it. I am trying to be good, I swear. But.. " She took a deep breath. "There has to be exceptions."
