Garnet wasn't interested in fancy makeup or clothes. She was a soldier, a heroine. She trained hard and she fought bravely. ‘She's awesome, '

Blair thought.

She admired her, just as she admired Wesley.

Garnet and Wesley were both soldiers. They were both courageous people.

And they grew up together. They had a lot in common. Blair wouldn't be surprised if Wesley chose her as his fiancee.
