Bonnie Maxwell's "Third Brother!" called out with not only affection but also a hint of ambiguity that anyone with ears could detect.
At first, Kevin Clark hadn't thought much about seeing her.
However, after she called him "Third Brother", especially when Daisy Zane glanced at her, Kevin imagined himself picking a color for a washing board.
A curious smile appeared in Daisy Zane's eyes.
Kevin licked his lips, swallowed and said, "I..."
"Third Brother." Bonnie approached the two and called out to him again, "You have guests."
Daisy withdrew her gaze from Kevin and looked at Bonnie.
Upon seeing Daisy, Bonnie was startled, then asked, "Have we...have we met somewhere before?"
Daisy examined her eyes as if she could see right into her heart. She then replied with a detached, faint smile, "Perhaps."
With a smile, Bonnie insisted, "We must have. Otherwise, why would you look so familiar?"
Daisy smiled politely but didn't respond.
