“I can’t stop you, since that’s what you want,” Beah said, patting Pearl’s hand, her gaze shifting to Hugo nearby. “Just don’t break things off too easily now that you’ve chosen him. You’re getting engaged, after all. Take it seriously.”

Beah had finally come to terms with the situation.

First, Pearl had faked her own death to escape a forced marriage. Now, she was planning to take Beah abroad and get engaged to someone else. Beah found Pearl’s life more exciting than her own youth.
