Watching Narcissus Brown leave with her two daughters, Peter Brown turned to his grandfather in confusion, "Grandpa, what were you talking about? I didn't understand."
Alvin Brown smiled happily at his grandson, "Peter, it's a good thing, a very good thing!"
Peter was even more perplexed, "How is it a good thing?"
"Peter, our village has always had certain traditions, which we keep to ourselves because our village has always been poor. One of those traditions, like you saw just now, is when you helped Narcissus and they have nothing with which to repay you. In those cases, they agree to give their daughter to you to be your woman."
Ah!
Peter looked at his grandfather in shock, unsure of what to say. After hesitating a while, he finally managed to say, "Grandpa, actually… I already have a woman in Flower Creek Village!"
It was then that Peter thought of Quinn Walker.
"Are you married to her?"
"No, it's Quinn from the village, we… we were together…"
Peter blushed as he spoke.
