It was almost the middle of the day when Edmond woke up. He had a good long sleep. He felt well rested and rejuvenated as if a heavy baggage has been lifted of his shoulders. Before the unexpected encounter with Amy yesterday, guilt would have already eaten him alive. He would have probably packed his bags by now and on the flight back to Australia running away again. After what Jason had said, he already felt defeated, ashamed to have come back home until Amy showed up from nowhere, thankful that she decided to stalk him.
He thought to himself:
"Sometimes, stalking someone with good intentions was not a bad idea. Amy, thank you for not giving up and following me all the way to the farm. It was getting a bit too much to handle. I almost gave up. Maybe the strong connection we have for each other is a sign that we are destined for each other, who knows." (He smiled thinking that it might be a possibility and why not).
