Kai found it extremely admirable of Jill to be oblivious to the various insults thrown at her from a multitude of island inhabitants, complaining that she shipped absolutely nothing during Summer, Winter, and scarcely anything in the other seasons.
The only issue was that he had never laid eyes on her farm since whenever the topic turned to that, she would steer him away into something else.
He didn't want to seem suspicious, but he found it rather bizarre that the last time he had asked what she had grown on her farm lately and she started talking about sand. That just didn't seem quite normal. Usually when he talked to his…previous girlfriends, he could bring up any topic and they would elaborate on it like crazy.
Perhaps Jill wasn't your ordinary girl, as normal as she seemed.
So one day, on one of his breaks, he decided to take a short trip to Orchid Farm, just to make sure that everything was in order. Especially since it was Wednesday, and she never visited him on Wednesday because she had to make up for the days she left the land unattended.
That left him wondering what she did in the evenings when she parted ways with him for the night.
Entering her farm, the sight that met his eyes seemed to destroy the image of Jill being the perfect young woman with well-meant reasons for not shipping anything. Kai had conjured up an image in his mind of her keeping everything for herself to live off of rather than getting mass amounts of money.
Well, simply said, what he saw proved him wrong in the most devastating way.
"Hi, Kai!" Jill trilled from within her little alcove of rock. It wasn't exactly the only bunch of rocks on the field, either.
"Hi," he said lamely, unable to summon any enthusiasm into his voice. "What are you doing?"
Jill lifted up a rock with both arms and flung it out into the grass, where there were also other gray entities at the base of her apple tree. "Ridding the my field of these things, what else? Want to help me get rid of these rocks?"
He wasn't too keen on being subject to intense labor, but if it was Jill asking him to do it, no matter how defiantly he may react, he would do anything for her.
"I'd be glad to spend more time with you," Kai grinned. "Rocks or no rocks."
