The girl, Anabelle, kept rambling for so long that I lost track of time.
It was frankly a waste of time since the conversation was terribly one-sided, but I endured it regardless. It wasn't out of sentiment or consideration for the young girl's emotions.
No.
It was out of satisfaction!
While I was certainly not benefitting much from listening to her excited speech about Lewis Griffith, it was certainly a good sign that Anabelle had warmed up to me wholly. Perhaps it was due to the fact that she was lonely and bored.
Edward, her only friend, was currently unavailable due to his Elective course. Was she just looking for another person to talk to so that she can while away time?
No, she could have easily spent her time reading a book and doing more research… which would pay off in the long run.
