Chapter 370: Something new (3)
"You must look out for Delilah and her friends. There is also talk about Rafael getting married to a woman no one knows much about. I’ve learnt that Rafael has an uncle from his mother’s side in town. Have they accepted you?" Giselle asked because there was something she heard this morning about Rafael.
"I don’t need them to. Rafael’s opinion is truly all that matters to me. What is being said by Delilah about Rafael? With how much time has passed and I have not seen her coming around, I thought her one-sided crush would be over by now. How annoying," Annalise said, not looking forward to seeing Delilah again.
After Delilah was banned from the manor, Annalise thought that would be the last of her. Why would Delilah still be holding onto feelings for a man who forbade her from coming to his home?
"I love Rafael and I find him to be a special kind of man, but isn’t there any other man in this town close to how good he is for other women to move on? It gives me more insight into why we should move," Annalise muttered.
"You are thinking of moving? You cannot when we are starting a friendship. If you move away, who will I be left with to speak to? My brother? My servants? A stranger on the roads? You must stay so we can have fun together," Giselle said, reaching over to the other side of the table where Annalise sat to hold her hand.
"I won’t be moving away for a long time in the near future. That will take time and a lot of planning, but I will have to leave every few weeks to see my family. I’ve enjoyed our talk so far, but I cannot stay here and not visit my family for you. Though if it all works well between you and Thomas, that problem will be solved since he will want to go home," said Annalise.
If she started to set up some of the women here with people from the border and introduce the knights to women she knew back home, if any knights would travel with her on her way back, they would start putting together the new town fast.
Annalise tapped her fingers on the tabletop, starting to pair everyone together. Giselle was partially taken care of since she seemed to have taken a liking to Thomas already. Thomas was a little taken aback by Giselle approaching him, but he talked with her. It was a big change for Annalise since Thomas wasn’t open to talking to anyone here before.
"I wouldn’t mind getting away from this town to start fresh as long as your home is not somewhere boring. Listen, we won’t be the most welcomed, but I have a few invitations to parties if you would like to join me and attempt to make more friends. You’ll be able to get acquainted with women whose families are close to the Callahans," said Giselle.
