The weeks passed, and everything was fine. Each bond grew stronger;
Pretty and Eleanor grew closer, which made Lolly jealous but she didn't know how to express it as usual.
Eleanor was beginning to see the other sides of Alan's brothers as Elizabeth and Amanda called them more frequently. They didn't despise her as much as she thought.
James had already graduated. Scarlet was also on vacation and spent her afternoons researching DIY projects on the internet.
Everyone was content with how life was going.
Maybe a little too happy-
While walking down the streets, Alan held Eleanor's hand.
He had driven from his house on a Saturday evening just to go for a walk with her. That warmed her heart, and she smiled after each step they took.
She was finally convinced that she was good enough for Alan. That he loves her just the way she was.
