章 1974: Emma's baby shower (14)

Samantha and Merve stepped into the ring where Michael waited for them as two staff members were almost done wiping the floor with dry mops. There were a few sports of sweat from previous fights, and they might cause the floor to be slippery.

Merve saw Michael and she remembered that not only her adoptive siblings from the Cliffside Villa are present, but Sarah and Aiden as well. She didn't care about anyone else's opinion, Sarah told her more than once that she can't please the world, but she should focus on not disappointing a few people who are important. And people from the Cliffside Villa were important (Corey included).

When Samantha approached Merve with a lame story about forgetting their grudges and starting anew without even trying to conceal her hostility, Merve readily accepted Samantha's challenge to step into the ring, without thinking that her behavior is not appropriate for this setting.
