Morwenna never had any contempt for Adelaide, she just didn't care for her.

Raised in the remote mountain town, she had never encountered someone as phony and stuck-up as Adelaide.

She hadn't watched those big-budget period dramas, so when she saw Adelaide teetering on the edge of falling into the lake, her instinct was to reach out and help. But in the next moment, a force pulled at her hand.

Adelaide yanked hard, pulling Morwenna forward so she nearly toppled over too.
