And now I was accepting. "My son is sealed to you. The seal is more like a family bond. Cesur has the same bond with you as he felt for Cansu. It's nice to know you exist, but it's never like falling in love."
"And what if you're in love?" I asked shyly. "How do you distinguish between seal and love?" I did not want to fall into the role of a helpless lover in the eyes of Ms. Melda, but I could not help but ask.
"Love," said Ms. Melda. "So sweet and pure. When you find love, you know it right away. It's more magical than being sealed." She spoke like a lover.
"Brave loves us, but not in love," he said with a slight laugh. "You know the difference. When you fall in love, you always yearn to see him. You want to touch him, smell him. You finally realize that you can't live without him."
