After the dinner, everyone devoured the special pie that Mrs Green had made as a dessert. Now the previous thick tension had thinned considerably.
Thea sighed in relief that Rees had not brought up the topic of their fight. Yes, he was adamant about ignoring her the whole time but he had made sure that her parents didn't notice it.
Ruth was glad that now she had got some time to talk with Rees. She was sure that she would convince him somehow and clear all the misunderstandings between Thea and Rees.
Edwin, on the other hand, was experiencing a weird mixture of emotions. He was sure that he would manage to convince Mr and Mrs Green for allowing Rees and Thea more time. He could be very persuasive if he wanted.
But apart from that, he was thrilled to meet Ruth again. This was only the fourth time that he had met her and the first time that they had a normal time with each other.
