In the canteen of Kiawah Hospital.
When Samuel gave Arana ribs, he saw that she looked distracted.
"Terrence came to bully you?"
Samuel's words pulled back Arana's thoughts, "No."
"That's good, eat."
"Thanks."
Samuel was a quiet but considerate man.
The ribs were delicious, but Arana tasted like wax today.
"When did you know our relationship, Samuel?"
"Why are you asking this?"
"I thought you didn't know before."
Arana did not ask Samuel this question before, and for a long time abroad she thought that Samuel didn’t know she had been in love with Terrence, just like her classmates at home.
When he drove her to K&G to find the children, he wasn't much surprised to see Terrence and hardly asked anything afterwards.
Samuel replied, "I met you by chance near the school in my sophomore year."
In sophomore year? Arana was thoughtful, "So early?"
It was amazing that he had kept this secret for ten years.
