"Yes, Fern, the captain," he said as hopelessness started to rise in himself. He opened his mouth to ask WHICH part of it was hard to understand when she told him to wait--only for proving Cutty that she was maybe REALLY a little slow.
"Y'see, that's the thing," he started with a sad, sad face. "Alec cheated on her. I know he did. But she's too blind to see it. And--and," he looked into her eyes to get her to see he was serious, "she deserves better! She's just so perfect and he's cheating on her with that French girl." He grunted. How could Alec?! "I would never cheat on her..."
"WHAT!?!?" "Omigosh, omigosh, omigosh!" Fern wringed her hands, then she pulled at her hair, then she covered her face, then she peaked through her fingers at Forrest,
"Are you sure!? What did you see!? What did the French girl look like!? Did she have great hair and look evil!?" Fern uncovered her face and reached for Forrest's hands, staring back just as intently,
"This is important! I think I KNOW her, Forrest! AND WHAT IF SHE IMPERIUSED ALEC INTO CHEATING ON ELLA?!"
This was a total possibility. In the latest
Candy Cobbsweb book, Candy's ex, Mike, had imperiused her best friend, Jeannine, into dating him to make Candy jealous.
And Fern wouldn't put casting Unforgivable Curses past that evil French girl she had met on the fifth floor.
