Mariana Buck's gaze flickered slightly as she stared intently at Flossie Wright, observing her with increased scrutiny and probing. However, Flossie deliberately avoided Mariana's gaze, turning to look ahead as she listened to Maggie Summerton calling out the groups one by one.
Becca Reyes and Jocelyn Carrington were in one group.
Belinda Nichols and Cherry Hamilton were in another group.
Jessie Grain was paired with a veteran soldier, who seemed to be very formidable.
These pairings were all between individuals whose strengths were not much different from each other, which was normal, but Flossie could not understand why she had been placed in the same group as Mariana Buck.
Little did she know that in Rowdy Brightwill's eyes, she possessed an incredible amount of potential.
Being matched with someone stronger was the only way to grow more swiftly.
When Flossie saw Belinda Nichols, the concern in her eyes was faint but still palpable to Flossie.
