At the end of their lengthy conversation, Ves expressed his tiredness. Just as he said goodbye and cut the channel, Gloriana's projection leaned forward until her face was millimeters away from his own!
If they weren't talking by remote, she would have kissed by now!
"Tell me, Ves. Do you like me?"
"I do."
"Do you love me?"
"...Maybe. You know my feelings on this matter. A couple of meetings doesn't mean we're the right person for each other."
Obviously, Gloriana thought very differently about their compatibility. Ves did not need to be a telepath to know that she had already made up her mind concerning their relationship!
Despite his attempt to insert some distance into their relationship, she didn't seem discouraged. She was confident she could capture his heart!
She giggled. "Since you thought of me when you came up with this scheme, does that mean you consider me your girlfriend now?"
"Uhm.."
