Mallia Mamet gave a bitter smile. What were these troubles anyway? Trivial matters, only Edward, oblivious to everything else, could still worry about them and talk about them. Inside, Mallia Mamet held much heavier burdens, but she couldn't speak of them to anyone.
How wonderful it would be to have a friend who would fearlessly take risks by her side. Edward had been such a friend before they got together, but not anymore.
Mallia Mamet knew that since she had let him into her heart, she couldn't let Edward take risks for her. But if not him, who else could there be?
Who else? Suddenly, Mallia Mamet thought of someone, George Flack! She knew she didn't have any reliable friends, but there were plenty of men around her who were head over heels for her.
Hadn't George Flack found his way to her house? Then she should make good use of George Flack, otherwise, she would feel like she's not doing justice to his efforts in seeking her out!
