A flash of surprise crossed Lenora's face, followed by a brief sigh of helplessness. Inside, her heart was a tangled mess of shock and embarrassment as the crowd around them kept growing, their gazes filled with interest and curiosity.

Holding a bouquet, Connor stood with a look of pure, unguarded affection. His youthful face radiated warmth, his clear eyes reflecting a soft, determined light. Earnestly, he asked, "Lenora, will you be my girlfriend?"

Composing herself, Lenora quickly worked through the myriad thoughts racing in her mind, making a decision on the spot. She tucked away all her hesitations, replaced them with a flawless, graceful smile, and nodded in front of everyone, saying, "Sure." Connor's face lit up instantly, a broad smile spreading across his features, his neat white teeth flashing, and his eyes glinting with surprise and happiness.

He had never imagined she would agree without hesitation; in his most hopeful vision, he thought she might simply not reject him outright, but rather take time to consider.

""Woah!"

The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, sending their congratulations echoing around them.

Under the gaze of the onlookers, Connor stepped forward, offering Lenora the bouquet. Leaning in close, a faint blush crept onto his cheeks, and in a soft voice, he whispered, "Thank you, Lenora." Taking the bouquet, Lenora gave him a gentle smile and replied, "What are you thanking me for?"

The energy from the crowd seemed to intensify as they noticed their exchange. A man seated nearby shouted, "Give us a kiss! Give us a kiss!"

The others picked up the chant, their voices merging into one as they called out, "Kiss! Kiss!"

Connor flushed deeply, his eyes shining with a mix of nervousness and joy as he looked into Lenora's eyes. With his pals dampening from nervous sweat, he asked, "Lenora, would it be okay?" Lenora hesitated momentarily, but then a smile broke across her face as she looked down, her hand lifting to touch her own cheek in a show of affection.

"Thank you," he repeated, his voice full of emotion as he leaned closer. His warm breath brushed lightly against her cheek, and Lenora closed her eyes, stiffening slightly under the sensation. Being affectionate with someone she didn't have romantic feelings for was a difficult line to cross.

Her thoughts wandered as she questioned the nature of emotions and actions, wondering how Zachary could have professed to feel nothing for Susanna yet still been able to display such devotion. Is this how all men are?

Moreover, she found herself unable to stop her mind from drifting back to Zachary,

Just then, Connor's kiss on her cheek was light and brief, like the gentle touch of a dragonfly skimming over water, easing the tension in Lenora's heart.

She opened her eyes and took a steady breath, setting the bouquet down on the table beside her.
