She didn't know why she had this intuition. For several months now, she realized how much she missed James Horne. She missed those days when she could speak her mind freely without anyone minding. Although James would say she talked a lot, he never truly minded. She missed racing with James even more—alright, perhaps it was wishful thinking on her part each time, as James never really paid her any mind. Regardless, she missed him dearly. James didn't have many friends in his life. And though Rebecca Hughes had a straightforward personality, she didn't have many friends either. She had long considered James her best friend.
"What's wrong, are you lovesick?" Julia teased with a smile.
She thought Rebecca Hughes was a good match for James. James treated Rebecca Hughes differently; at least Rebecca could be by James's side. Based on this alone, she could confirm that Rebecca held a place in James's heart.
