What a talkative young lady! Initially, he told Charlotte that he liked to work, hoping to end the conversation. It was beyond his expectation that instead of being discouraged, that young lady would ramble on.
Meanwhile, Vivian was riding the second cable car with another colleague. The whole journey to the island would take about three hours.
Initially, she could still retain her composure. As time passed, she couldn't help looking at the two in the cable car in front.
She couldn't see Finnick's face as the latter had his back facing her. Yet, she could clearly see Charlotte's expression.
The young lady covered her mouth as she giggled, occasionally talking with her hands when she got excited. Vivian supposed the two were having a wonderful time chatting with each other.
She quickly turned her head to hide her teary eyes from her colleague and suppress the bitterness in her heart.
Isn't that what I wanted? Finnick will no longer pester me if he falls in love with another woman. But why do I feel so sad seeing him chattering with Charlotte?
Although she tried to hide her emotions, Sarah took notice of her abnormality. "Vivian, what's wrong?"

Sarah pursed her lips, unconvinced. She could tell
Vivian's smile carried with it a tinge of bitterness. What happened? Why does Vivian suddenly look so sad?
