Sherman looked down dazedly at Claire, who had her hands on his knees. "This was how we'd ask the other for forgiveness when we were younger. After all these years, you still have that habit."

Claire nodded eagerly at his mention of the past. "Yes, do you remember? How wonderful our past was. Does Rita know it's just a small habit of yours? She doesn't, does she? Only I know. I'm the one who's most suitable for you!"
