Leah is not someone who gossips or pries into others' privacy. Although she has some doubts about Richard Shaw's identity, she doesn't pay it much attention.
Over the days they've spent together, this man shows integrity and self-discipline, which extends to the young and disciplined Casimir Shaw. She trusts the father and son greatly. Having spent a long time in the South Seas, she's curious about the cabin they've mentioned, so she nods and says, "Sure, I'll go with you, and take the opportunity to relax."
Richard Shaw sees how quickly she agrees, her straightforward personality, not even asking him about his background. He feels a subtle movement in his tea-colored eyes. The closer he gets to her these days and the more he learns about her, the more he feels her intense, pure heart. Years ago, if he hadn't avoided her, if he had understood her a little better, there would never have been such a situation today.
