Chloe and Maria are getting to know one another, they have a long list of rituals and practices. One is doing to the small apple tree in the pasture. Chloe waits for Maria to pick her an apple and munches and crunches it while the two stand together. I am touched by the pleasure of watching these two learn to love each other and get to know each other.
