He just wanted her to be his little woman; even if she were foolish or clumsy, he could create a perfect, innocent world for her, a world undisturbed by anyone else.
But he knew very well that his Amanda had a heart of resilience; she absolutely wouldn't be content with just that.
She was like a sunflower, only in facing the sunlight could she bloom beautifully to her heart's content.
He knew the grand ideals she held in her heart.
So, all he wanted was to help her forge a pair of sturdy, splendid wings to let her soar freely in the world she longed for.

He liked her when she smiled, like a charming angel.
Therefore, he wanted her to be happy, to do what she truly desired deep in her heart.
