Chapter 74 IN DENIAL

FLORENCE'S POINT OF VIEW

"This is the area where most of our crops died because of the pestilence," Gerald announced as we stand in the middle of the grapevines.

I look around and saw several grape vines that were infected by the pests. There are whitish spots on the fruits and dark borders. The fruits also became black in color, wrinkled, mummified, and look like raisins. There are red blotch that appeared on the leaves of the grapes.

"How long does the plague taking over the plantation?" Kalix asked while inspecting the vines.

I feel no more admiration towards him anymore the moment that I learned he already has a girl friend. Well, it's not like that platonic admiration was supposed to last long. Maybe I just really admired and appreciated his looks. Nothing more, nothing less.
