Courtney (in her mind): "I do want to give Gwen a second chance, but I do want some advise. Trent has told me that Gwen wanted to make amends. I should ask him."

She heads to the boys cabin and knocks on the door. Trent opens it and is shocked at who he sees.

Trent: "Hey Courtney."

Courtney: "Hey Trent. Can we talk?"

Trent: "Sure."

The two walk some distance from the boys cabin and then stop.

Courtney: "I want to give Gwen a second chance, but need some advise."

Trent: "You are still a little hesitant?"

Courtney: "Yea. I am afraid she will hurt me again."

Trent: "Courtney, Gwen is not an evil person that desires to hurt people. She made a mistake. The way she handled the Duncan situation in season 3 was not right, and she knows that. She tried to make amends with you after season 3, but you blocked her number and on social media. I'm not finding fault with you. I'm just tying to explain that she felt bad and tried to make amends. Since this season started, she has been working to make amends with you. She told me that you trusted her for this recent elimination ceremony. It is clear you have finally realized that Gwen wants to make amends. For Gwen to try so hard to make amends after season 3 and throughout this season, but then put you through this again, makes no sense. She's not that type of person."

Courtney momentarily thinks.

Courtney: "You're right Trent. I do believe she is genuine. It's just that I'm afraid."

Trent: "I get it, but you shouldn't let fear consume you. If you don't give her a chance, you may constantly ask yourself whether or not you should have."

Courtney sighs.

Courtney: "You are right. How was she feeling when she was not able to get hold of me after season 3?"

Trent: "She was so upset. We talked about this a few times. She told me she saw you as a friend and felt bad and upset that the way she handled things led to you being hurt, and her friendship with you being ruined. I could feel the pain in her voice. While she eventually began thinking about this less and less, she didn't fully let go of her sadness and guilt. Despite things not working out after season 3, she told me that one day she would find a way to make amends with you."

Courtney is shocked.

Courtney: "I didn't know. Bridgette told me that Gwen wanted to reach out to me and make amends, which I refused, but I never knew Gwen was this sad. You are right. For the sadness she felt and what she has done to make amends with me, it does not make sense for her to hurt me again. I think I will give our friendship a second shot."

Trent smiles.

Trent: "That is great Courtney."

Courtney smiles.

Courtney: "Thank you Trent."

Trent: "You are welcome Courtney."

The two hug.
