As she calmed down and thought about it, she realized that his feelings were always openly displayed. When he didn't love her initially, he made it clear from the start. So now, when he claimed to love her, was it from the heart? Her heart suddenly began to race uncontrollably. If... if he truly loved her as he said, and wanted to be with her again...

When Marilyn returned from the bathroom, Cecilia looked at her mischievously. Marilyn glared at her,
"Cecilia, what bad things were you saying about me again?"
"Just talking about your love story with Bert!"
Cecilia giggled, and Marilyn rolled her eyes,
"Is there even a need to tell it? You already wrote a book; just give them a copy to read!"
Clarisse looked at Cecilia with admiration,
"Wow! You published a book? That's amazing, Cecilia!"
