Despite her reservations, Hannah Clegg had to admit there was a time when she profoundly disdained Milo Edvin.
This disdain came chiefly from a state of anxious frustration - a blend of pity for his hardships and disdain for his lack of determination.
But wasn't it Milo Edvin's disguise that gave her that impression?
He wasn't who he pretended to be.
Was it not normal then for Hannah Clegg to despise him?
Why should he get angry about her contempt?
Could it be, she – Hannah Clegg, was expected to admire a weak, indecisive, powerless boy?
However, still looking at Milo Edvin, she spoke deliberately, "There was a time when you were indeed my friend."
Despite her previous harsh attitude, she still cares for him deep down.
But like Merlin Edvin who didn't know how to win her heart, she also didn't know how to express her concern appropriately.
But those days are long gone.
Hannah Clegg's confession left Milo Edvin in a daze.
