Melody let out a sigh of relief as he too drew a card. The betrayal was obvious, and she wasn't hoping to ignore it. She was, however, hoping to lay the foundation for the bridge.

Shockingly (or not so if she really considered how little she knew of Ben) Melody was unaware that his parents were gone. "When did they pass?" She asked quietly. The Crouch family seemed rather tight knit from what she knew of it. Such a loss couldn't have been easy fo bear. "Mine is probably allowing my emotions to impede my judgement." Melody then added.

There were two options for her to lay down. One was grossly inappropriate to follow his sad confession. The other only an embarrassment to herself. The choice was simple, Melody placed down a blue heart. Have you ever had a crush on a friend?

"Yes. The man I mentioned to you back in the shack. I thought he would ask to court me." That, obviously, hadn't come to fruition, much as she now wished it had.
