Since that memorable brief meeting, Mrs. Catherine Ganke had feelings for Anne. She often came to the museum to just talk to Anne or take her to lunch.
"Do you have a boyfriend, Anne?" the smiling old woman asked Anne.
Anne, who was shocked and unprepared for such a question, immediately lowered her head. "W-who wants an ugly girl like me, Madam?"
"You are beautiful, smart and kind. I'm sure the man who has you will be very happy," said Mrs. Catherine gently reassuring Anne.
Anne chuckled. "Look at me, Ma'am, I'm like this. Who wants to be with me? There are lots of girls out there who are more beautiful and attractive than me, girls who are more educated and come from wealthy families, while I'm just a poor orphan girl, ugly one."
Mrs. Catherine Ganke smiled. She then took Anne's hand and held it tightly. "I have a grandson who is about your age. He is single and has no girlfriend. Do you want to marry my grandson, Anne?"
