Chapter 334

• Ben looked back at her and she had tied her long red hair up in a bun on the back of her head to keep it out of the water. This just accentuated her long slim neck. She gave him a brilliant smile when she noticed he was staring. He cleared his throat and looked away. "So you wished to speak with me?"
• Lori's face took on a serious expression and she cast her eyes down at the bubbling water as she collected her thought. "Yes, I've done a lot of thinking about what you said and I thought about the times we've upset you and how we acted. It seemed so odd to us that there could have been a negative outcome to those events but I realized that was because we were only seeing it from our own perspective. Seeing things from the eyes of another isn't something we've had a lot of experience with. Understanding there was an issue has been a little easier for me as I've typically deferred to Lisa so I subconsciously already see from her perspective but it so closely matches mine the difference is almost meaningless. So I replaced Lisa with you and tried to consider your perspective on our touching you inappropriately and climbing into your bed uninvited then Rochelle's view on us being there too. I see now how uncomfortable it must have been for you and awkward for Rochelle. I'm sorry."
• Ben was smiling at Lori when she looked up. "Learning to see the effect of your actions through the eyes of others is exactly what I was hoping would happen. I'm so relieved to hear you've managed to do it! The question is, have you been able to share your epiphany with your sister? Does she understand yet?"
