Melody looked directly into his eyes, her face showing a mix of surprise and deep contemplation. Her excitement disappeared into thin air.
"What do you mean, Damien? I don't get it. Could you please explain your thoughts a bit more?"
Damien's gaze held a mix of vulnerability as he looked into Melody's eyes. "Of course. What I'm suggesting goes beyond just the partnership we have. It's about something more profound—a deeper connection that's rooted in trust, understanding, and shared experiences."
He leaned back slightly, a thoughtful look in his eyes. "I'm not talking about rushing into anything. It's about considering the possibility of a deeper relationship. Something that goes beyond the superficial level."
His words were chosen with precision, each sentence was calculated to weave his hidden agenda into the proposal. He watched Melody closely, measuring her reaction and trying to anticipate her response.
