The event had already begun but Ian was still waiting for Mina to arrive. He was nervous, but not because of the engagement the way people kept assuming. He was feeling anxious because he had not seen Mina in person since she tried to kiss him.

She made a valid point when she left his home, and since then he had been wondering why he did not just ask her.
