Genevieve:
‘Think it over once more,’ Evie requested as I made my way to the garden to inform Ron of my decision.
‘I've made my mind up. If I dwell on it any longer, I might regret abandoning this trial,’ I told her, her persuasion making me second-guess myself again. While I wanted to pursue the trial, I couldn't disregard Caspian's wishes.
I spotted Ron in the distance within the royal garden and hastened my steps to meet him. He was clutching files, likely awaiting my arrival.
"Genevieve!" he greeted with a smile upon seeing me.
"I hope I didn't catch you getting ready for bed," he said, motioning towards the bench and table.
"Actually, I wanted to discuss--withdrawal from this trial," I confessed, feeling guilty for disappointing him when he seemed prepared to discuss it with me.
