Josh Levs paused for a moment.
Gazing ahead thoughtfully, it took him a while to say, "You're overthinking it."
With a "Heh," Norton Jarvis, somewhat frustrated, said, "When have you, Josh Levs, ever admired or appreciated a woman? Since I can remember, Audrey is the first one, so how can you be so dull and just wait for some 'feeling'?"
"Admiration is merely admiration, respect is just respect. When it comes to romantic love, in the end, it lacks a spark of fate."
"Fate is something that can be cultivated gradually. Aren't there many couples who start feeling something for each other after spending time together? Just like my dad and mom, they had an arranged marriage. One was indulging in pleasures to avoid being the groom, the other outright fled to avoid being the bride. And now, don't they put on a cheesy act every day?"
"Do you really think I could be with Audrey?"
Norton Jarvis nodded seriously, "Truer than pearls."
