Stanley stood at the door with lil s eyes fixed on Wendy his body tense as though he wanted to step inside
But Wendy not wanting to face him quickly averted her gaze

Just then Lilian s voice rang out from the hallway Mr Hawk Jessica s heart is acting up again She wants to see you You should goto her quickly
Lilian had come to find Stanley again to tell her about Jessica s flare up
Glinda and Halsey both heard Lilian s voice Glinda let out a cold snort She s asked to see you again Why don t you goto her

Stanley remained standing tall in the doorway his eyes still on Wendy
Wendy stayed silent as Halsey poured a glass of warm water She took it her eyes lowered as she drank slowly Her delicate profile glowed in the soft light almost ethereal

Wendy’slipscurledintoafaint smile.”It’snotthatsimple.Lovecan’tbeavoided.Mr.HawklovesJessica,andnomatterwhereshegoes,hisheartwillfollow.Evenifyousentheraway,hewouldhavejustgonewithher.”
I really don t get it How could he fall for someone like her Glinda wondered
Just then Halsey spoke up Wendy did you know that Jessica once saved Mr Hawk
What Would she even do such a thing Glinda looked stunned
Wendy shook her head I didn t know
Halsey s at down beside her on the bed He told me today right outside the door He said the reason he s always been so kind to Jessica is that she once saved his life and he feels indebted to her
Wendy furrowed her brow Jessica saved Stanley s life
She had always thought she was the one who saved Stanley had Jessica done the same
How many times had Stanley gotten injured
Wendy’sthoughtsraced.”When andwheredidshesavehim?”
He said it happened years ago He was severely injured and wandered into a forest That was when Jessica found
him took him to a cave and saved his life He said he promised her that day he would take her home and never leave her
As Halsey finished speaking Wendy s eyes went wide with shock Jessica had saved Stanley In a cave
Howcouldthatbe?
Wendy was the one who had saved Stanley in that cave all those years ago
Their story washers not Jessica s
Wendy are you okay Glinda asked concern in her voice
Wendy snapped out of her daze Halsey did he really tell you that
Halsey nodded Yeah he told me himself right outside this room I m sure of it He said that his relationship with Jessica wasn t as simple as love or not love He said Jessica was his responsibility and he couldn t abandon her
Suddenly Wendy let out a soft laugh But as she laughed her eyes so pale and clear filled with tears Within moments large drops began to fall
