The offer he had made her may have been tabled for now, but it would likely still be on both their minds. He certainly doesnβt intend to forget it— it would be impossible to do so, just as it had become impossible to ignore the thoughts and feelings that had led him here.
For as much as he had fumbled with this, he would like to think it was still better than many of the business-like offers of marriage heβd heard talked about among other nobles on Lenegis. βI am so at ease with your company, the idea of dinner seems quite normal. Weβve shared countless by now, butβ¦ it will be different, yes?β That, he decides, is hardly a bad thing. The difference here would be intent, the shift in dynamic their relationship had seen over the past several months.
βPerhaps it will be more honest than some of those that have come before.β
