Corrine and Ashleigh had a friendly chat, talking about nothing, just spending time together.
It was refreshing.
Ashleigh looked at her mother, her Luna.
“Mom?”
“Yes, dear?”
“How do you know what your people need?”
Corrine blinked at Ashleigh in surprise.
“Sorry,” Ashleigh laughed, realizing how strange it was to suddenly ask. “I just… Fiona said that as a Luna, you need to think about what your people need. So I wondered, how you do that?”
“Ah,” Corrine smiled. “Well, let me ask you a question first.”
“Ok.”
“What do you need to be a Luna?”
Ashleigh stared at her mother.
“I don’t understand,” she said.
“It’s a simple question. Do you think you are ready to be a Luna to Summer?”
“No,” Ashleigh replied immediately.
“Why not?”
“Well, they hate me, for starters.”
“Then what do you need to be their Luna?”
“For them to like me?”
“Close,” Corrine smiled. “Rather than like you, they should respect you and trust you.”
