In a community where most people can read each other’s minds, crimes can still happen when a person doesn’t know the intentions of the other and they can be taken advantage of.  Such was the case of Langrin versus Gornaran. 

In 1843 a man named Mondran Gornaran met a woman named Sadrian Langrin.  He was rich and successful while she was rich and beautiful.  He did business in a dozen different dimensions and had little spare time.  But when he met Sadrian, he made time to be with her. 

They traveled extensively, when he wasn’t on business at first and eventually he would take her along.  Sometimes it meant being away from him for most of the day either in a hotel room or out on the town shopping and seeing the sights.   But even if he made it to their room at 3:00 AM and spent a few hours asleep in their bed, it was enough for her. 

This arrangement went on for over a year.  Often he wouldn’t see her for weeks on end and when they did go on a business trip together, they wouldn’t see much of each other.  But on the days when he wasn’t involved with clients or in meetings, they would spend it together doing things like eating at restaurants, watching movies, taking in concerts, and just being with each other. 

By late 1844, it looked like the relationship was becoming very serious.  It would only be a matter of time before he asked her to marry him.  But the night when she thought he would propose to her, he did something unusual.  He asked to borrow some money from her in order to close a business deal that required him to invest in a client’s company as a show of good faith.  She loaned him $150,000. 

A couple weeks later, he asked for another $150,000 and she reluctantly loaned it to him.   Days later, he went on a business trip without her and didn’t come back for months.  When he did come back, he needed to borrow another $200,000 which she loaned to him.

After loaning him half a million dollars, she became suspicious that he was using her.  But every time he was with her, she had warm feelings and felt an excitement that a woman in love felt about the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.
