"Because I don't want you to misunderstand anything again because of Daniel Harris." Mabel Quinn said. The previous misunderstanding had turned his birthday into such a terrible situation, so she didn't want another one.
If he minded Daniel Harris, if Daniel made him uneasy, she was willing to explain, to clarify, to do anything that could put his mind at ease.
Kyle Kinston's gaze flickered, this woman understood him.
"What if he still can't let go? Would you sympathize with him?" he asked.
"I don't know if Daniel Harris can let go of those things, but I think he's probably not someone who needs sympathy." Mabel replied. Back then, when she met Daniel, even though the people in the village looked down on him, there was a pride in his bones, and what he needed was never sympathy.
Kyle's eyes lowered slightly, was this her understanding of Daniel Harris? Because they once had such a beautiful and unforgettable memory, one that he could not participate in.
