Cylus and Mina stood speaking with one another in the same spot for a long time. When he could see that she was a little more relaxed, he extended his elbow to her and she linked her arm into his.
As they walked, Cylus explained that his grandmother had dementia and that his family had been doing their part to contribute to the research ever since they found out about her condition. He told her that there was an auction at the event, and Cylus offered to purchase something under Mina's name.
Not wanting to be greedy, Mina declined Cylus' offer. She told him that the two dresses he had given her were already more than she had ever accepted from anyone and Cylus found himself smitten with Mina's non-expectant personality.
