It was awkward. Lyn thought he fell asleep. So imagine her surprise when he suddenly opened her eyes. If she could move from her current situation, then she would have long gotten to her feet. However, Lyn couldn't. Maybe if she keeps her head down low, he would leave her alone?
It was futile thinking, of course. How many years have passed since she first met Allen? In those years, she has learned a lot about him. So, she ought to know full well what's on his mind now.
"So you're serious about him," Allen broke the silence with that statement. Lyn looked down uncomfortably; she didn't know what to say. Why does he look hurt? Their engagement is only supposed to be a political one.
Lyn paused, is it possible? Did...did Allen really want to marry her? Does he want her to become his wife? Does he perhaps have feelings for her? As these questions ran through her mind, she didn't see how Allen was looking at her.
