Faced with Summer Thorne's solemn request, Brandon Crawford was taken aback for a moment before asking for more details.
Summer Thorne could only explain what had happened with her best friend to Brandon Crawford as concisely as she could.
Even someone as worldly as Brandon Crawford couldn't help but sigh after hearing the whole story. "To think such a coincidence could happen... For a moment there, I really wasn't sure if I should be happy for you."
"Regardless, she's back, and to me, that's a good thing," Summer Thorne said, looking at Brandon Crawford. "So, please be happy for me. And please, just treat her as my best friend, as you would any other young person."
Meeting Summer Thorne's gaze, Brandon Crawford fell silent for a moment before nodding slowly. At last, he said, "I understand."
After leaving the club, Summer Thorne first went with Brandon Crawford back to the Carrington estate. She stayed until he had taken his evening medication before leaving for Kingscrest.
