Emma Benson stayed at Minnie Sutton's house, but the air conditioning made the nights stiflingly hot, and she just couldn't get used to it, leading to sleeplessness.
Additionally, the small town was teeming with mosquitoes and insects, though fortunately, Emma had come prepared, bringing mosquito repellent and so on.
Minnie came over to sleep with her, and the two women, who hadn't chatted in a long time, couldn't stop talking.
During that time, Walter Schmidt called, and Emma briefly explained a few things, assuring him she was fine and might return in a few days, telling him not to worry.
While they were talking, Minnie watched with a smile, her face showing an expression of envy. After Emma hung up, she said, "I'm really envious of you two, still so in love after all these years of marriage!"
"That's precisely why marriage must be built on feelings..." Emma said, lying on her side, smiling at her. "Minnie, you will find that lifelong partner too, don't give up!"
