"Yes, it's beyond my control," Joseph Wright sighed, his head resting on Victoria's knees, which made his voice seem somewhat ethereal.
"But it's not me who's helpless, it's her... yet, pitifully, I've never tried to understand her."
Victoria lowered her head and said to Joseph in a very gentle voice, "But now you understand, and she can sense that. People in love can really feel each other's presence."
"Really?" Joseph lifted his head, looking at Victoria as if she were his angel, "Can she sense my thoughts too?"
"Yes, she can sense them," Victoria said eagerly, "You don't have to doubt it, Mr. Wright, she must know everything you've done. Because between you lies the most sincere love, and true love isn't something that continues with just one person holding on. It must be both sides holding the firmest resolution, so that you can wait for and stay with each other day after day."
Victoria said this with great conviction.
She didn't doubt it at all.
