Kendall looked at Charlotte innocently. "If Shane treated you this way, would you still like him?"
"I don't like him right now either," Charlotte replied impatiently. "We are only together because of our child."
"I don't believe you."
"Yeah, you're right. I said this in order to comfort you," Charlotte joked.
"I've already given up a lot of things for the sake of liking Rick." Kendall moved closer to Charlotte. "Can I put my head on your shoulder?"
"Okay."
Kendall leaned gently against Charlotte's shoulder. She closed her eyes and her nose twitched. She said in a low voice, "I never liked anyone else before. I didn't mean to treat you guys horribly back then either. I just loved Rick and wanted to do something for him. But now that I think about it, if I had persuaded you to make peace with him at that time, I wouldn't have given up on him either..."
