"Can I ask if you can send a carriage to my maid to lead her on the beach we previously visited? I want her to see that spectacular view. I'm sure she'll enjoy it as much as I did." She asked resentfully as she pictured her friend and she tried to imagine her reaction in front of the heavenly sight.
John was playing with a gold coin, he was making it jump and grabbing it on its way down to just launch it in the air again and again.
"Why do you care about making her see it?" He asked, keeping his gaze on the coin. She turned around to look at him.
"Because she's my closest friend. And having lied to her broke my heart into a million pieces."
He took the coin on the fly to pay her full attention. "I see, you shall get used to hurting people. The sooner you learn to stop caring about the collateral damage the easier it will be to prevent yourself from getting attached easily." He said, meeting her gaze, then hitting the coin with his fingers.
