As luck would have it, she ran into Bethany just as she arrived in the parking lot.
"Belinda." Bethany caught sight of Belinda first and walked over, her tone bright.
Belinda smiled warmly. "This is a surprise. What made you think of invitingto a meal today? Is there something you want to tell me?" Bethany gave a half-shrug, her expression playful.

Then, Faye turned to Belinda. "I've been thinking a lot about what you said the other day...
After a brief moment of silence, Faye looked Belinda straight in the eye, her expression unusually sincere. "I've been thinking a lot about what you I and Uncle Lucas told me, and I have 上 to admit, you were right. Looking back, my behavior was indeed careless-immature, even. The more I reflected on it, the more I realized I was wrong. Belinda, do you think you could forgive me?" Her tone was earnest, even humble. Yet, Belinda's expression remained unchanged.
