I trust my instinct about you. Don’t forget that I’m still waiting for you to get married with Alex, okay?

But if you can’t get yourself to… Well, not that it matters.” Finished, he reached out his hand to Elise, who, filled with joy, slowly put her hand onto his palm. “Care for a dance?” As Elise stared at him, there was an inexplicable feeling in her
