Before they could start the deed, Raphael and Dane sat on the bed and engaged in a conversation first. Depending on how she would react to it, what he was about to convey was important for both of them.
"Dane, I have something to say to you."
"Um, what is it...?"
"You know, I have been thinking about something for quite some time, wondering whether it would be a good decision to make. I truly wanted to make it come true. I do not care about the consequences or what others would think anymore. I just want to fulfill this satisfaction of mine."
"..."
Raphael briefly paused so that he could hold her hands. Dane confusedly looked at it, and she started to have a little internal panic as she had no idea what he was going to do or say. After a short while, Raphael continued.
"You must be confused about what I am saying right now." He smiled to reassure her. "I am sure that this will surprise you."
