Aram has invited Hailey to visit his hometown of Chipton, a village in the hill country in the southwest. Aram and his sister Lydia are talking while Aram’s father is taking Hailey on a tour of the parish church. They make their way to a lane where people of the village often go for serious conversations. “You know, Aram that she is quite perfect for you, So sweet yet strong and plain as rain and a proper English beauty, too. You will never find another like her. I know you don’t like to express your feelings, but the time for that is over. What is the worst that can happen if you ask her? A slap on the face? But she far to kind for that. I can see she thinks a lot of you, but she is never going to ask no matter what she feels.”
