"Do you like Ella Lacey?"
Kathrine Jaron, while warming her hands with a hand warmer, stared intently at him, "You don't need to answer me; I know you like her."
"..." Marcus Moore was too weak to refute and poured her a cup of hot water, "Have a drink, warm yourself up."
"Marcus, don't you want to have her?" Kathrine grasped him, stopping him beside her.
Marcus sat down as the momentum carried him and spread his hands, "Wanting to have her, and actually getting her, are two different things."
"Why are you being so defeatist!"
Kathrine turned his face towards her and said emphatically, "Now that Arthur can't come back, isn't this the perfect opportunity for you to step in?"
"It's not ethical."
Marcus resisted, "Besides, Ella doesn't like me. After what happened on Mount Glimmer, I've given up hope."
"Really?"
