Rebecca felt a slight relief seeing the panic on Nathaniel's face. Turning her head away, she said coldly, "I already told you that what happened that night should be considered as if it never occurred. If you're having second thoughts, we can still be friends." "No!" Nathaniel took her hand and said gently, "I don't want to be just friends. I want to be your boyfriend."

As she looked into his deep, affectionate eyes, Rebecca felt no emotional stir but decided to play along with a shy demeanor. "Okay."

Moved by her act, Nathaniel instinctively cupped her chin and leaned in to kiss her.

Rebecca, startled, quickly pushed him away. "No... There are too many people in the restaurant. Someone might see us."

Noticing her pale face, Nathaniel frowned. "Do I look that unpresentable?"

"It's not that... It's just that my breakup with Damon hasn't been made public yet. If someone who knows us sees us, it might reflect poorly on you," Rebecca explained.

"I don't care," Nathaniel insisted.

"Even so... I'm shy... If you want to, let's wait until we get back," Rebecca said.

With Rebecca's promise, Nathaniel finally smiled. "Alright, when we get back."
