Sophie gave James a curious look and said, "You shared so much, but it feels like you're dodging the real question and trying to change the subject."

"I just wanted to say that I once missed my chance with her, but fate has given me another shot, even if it's just a dream. It's incredibly precious to me. I've been working on changing myself, but maybe I still haven't figured out how to truly love someone."

The only thing he could do was take on the role of James's fiancée to shield Sophie from any outside harm. Maybe his method was off, but it was the best plan he could come up with.

Everyone has their own way of loving. If she couldn't accept that, maybe you weren't meant for each other. But someone out there will accept your love."
