The clouds dispersed and the rain ceased. Joanna nestled in Sean Knight's arms, sharing her longings and mundane family matters.
In her heart, Joanna was profoundly grateful to Sean.
Her father planned to enter a new industry but was unable to find the necessary loans. The situation had left him in a foul mood which affected the whole family.
The atmosphere at home had been quite bad for a while, and Joanna didn't know how to help her parents.
She hadn't mentioned any of this to Sean, but to her surprise, upon learning about the situation, he immediately contacted her father and assured him that he wouldn't hold the situation against them.
With both of the men who loved her most showing such concern for her, Joanna felt a deep sense of happiness.
The next day, as Joanna reluctantly went off to school, Sean received a phone call from George Thomas.
After leaving the Seven Axes Pub the day before, George received a call from Heine Victor to express his gratitude that evening.
