Luna was a little dazed as soon as she came out of Joshua's room.
She brought the empty plate and cutlery into the kitchen and placed them in the sink. As she did this, she could not help recalling what Joshua had said to her when she was upstairs.
'Gwen will die as soon as she leaves Luke.'
Why?
This question echoed in Luna's mind as she turned on the tap to wash the dishes.
Why would Gwen die if she left Luke?
Was it because Luke would send someone t o kill her as soon as she left Merchant City?
Even though this was not entirely impossible...Luna still thought that Luke would not be so cruel as to kill Gwen, no matter how merciless he might seem.
"Luna."
A voice rang out from the kitchen door, one that pulled Luna back to reality.
She turned around.
A pale-faced Bonnie was leaning against the glass door, a dim expression in her eyes. "Do I... Do I look terrible now?"
She stared at Luna with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "There are only two hours until we depart for Landry Mansion, but just now, Theo told me that I look as pale as a ghost and that I shouldn't go see Jim now.
"I. I'm a little nervous about this."
As she said this, tears brimmed in Bonnie's eyes. "Will Jim think I'm ugly if I go looking like this?"
Luna bit her lip and felt as though something had pricked her heart when she saw how remorseful Bonnie looked. "He won't."
She shook her head, then quickly finished washing the dishes and grabbed a towel to wipe her hands. "The reason Jim doesn't like you anymore is that he lost his memories, and if this had been the past, he'd love you no matter how you look.
