My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I turned to leave. There was no need for me to stay and be a third-wheel.

However, Hendrix suddenly called out to me, "Miss Reid, did you get the fruits?"

Stopped in my tracks, I looked over to my empty bag. "Not yet, but aren't you picking some with Miss Zanes? I don't think Master Attwood would need so many, so I think I should leave."

"Since you're already here and it's so hot, please pick a few more so we can all eat together. Right, Miss Reid?" Rowane spoke as she moved closer to Hendrix, showing off their intimacy. I answered calmly, "Okay then, I'll pick some!"

I walked around the orchard and saw a sturdy-looking pear tree, its fruits well within my ability to reach for it.

Rowane lingered around me, like an unwanted shadow. Suddenly, her hand appeared out of nowhere, snatched a pear from the pile I had gathered, and took a bite. She winced in exaggeration, saying, "This is so sour, Miss Reid, Who'd eat this? It's such a waste!"

I dismissed her with a look and said, "If you don't want to eat it, then others will. If you think this is sour, then go ahead and pick your own fruit!"
