“Of course,” replied Cordelia. “Marcus said so. It’s no longer feudal times. A woman’s innocence isn’t that important.”

“You listen to him in everything…” Linda sighed as she cushioned her head with her arm.

“Be careful! He seems quite chauvinistic. Who knows if he’s thinking and saying different things? A woman’s innocence isn’t important? Nice to say! Hah, you’ve never dated and met men! If you tell him that you have a first love, see if he’s as calm.”

“Hey!” Cordelia grimaced. “Have you forgotten all about what you’ve sworn?”

“This isn’t exactly gossip.” Linda giggled. “I’m just expressing about Marcus! I’ll stop if you don’t want to hear about it.”

Cordelia gave her a pinch.

Cordelia’s dream was filled with colorful bubbles. There was a big ribbon, and she saw Marcus smiling at her. She dashed over to him, but just as she was about to hold his hand, everything turned black and white!

Marcus was nowhere to be seen, and a storm began pouring. The world was like a black hole that was going to devour her. When she looked down, the red string on her wrist actually turned into a menacing wound that dripped blood…

“Ah!” Cordelia gasped and woke up sweating.
