To Hera's surprise, Abby squealed in excitement. "I'm so happy for you, Hera and you know I'll never judge you. I thought it's no secret that I truly ship you guys?" Abigail asked rhetorically, earning a smile of gratitude from Hera.
Hera then noticed she was packing her luggage, and Abby informed her that she was spending her weekend at her friend's house.
Hera opened up her heart and talked about how her friends ridiculed her decision. Abby listened to everything patiently, giving Hera all the attention she needed. She convinced Hera that people would judge her either way, so she shouldn't bother thinking about them. Abby told her to do what her heart desired.
"Follow your heart. That's what every epic love story in all the romance novels says anyway," Abby said, and Hera grinned nodding in agreement.
