It was not the chemistry of a grand romantic gesture. It was the chemistry of endurance. Of two people navigating the wreckage together. Of a hand held out in the dark, not to pull, but to steady. "I dropped the charter copy off with the judge," Maya said, keeping her voice casual to distract him. "The IP claim is officially dead. Corsair Capital withdrew completely. VOSS is clear."

It was an update from Yvette about Borginia.

Zoe's delayed response brought silence into the air. Jacqueline's eyes were wide with disbelief. "Wait. You've kissed another guy?" "I didn't!" Zoe denied right away, her face red. "Of course, Seamus is the one I kissed! I just… I didn't want it aired out. It's private!" My heart sank. She was lying. We had never kissed, not even once. My mind began to wander again after that little episode. The past was starting to play itself in my head. All the details I'd been ignoring were now dancing vividly in the eyes of my mind.

"Don't take the most expensive one." He gently interrupted, "Let's not save money. This is our wedding." "No." I paused for a moment, then added softly, "I'm allergic to seafood." Gilbert froze for a moment. Then, he apologized awkwardly. "Sorry, I just thought…"

Now Dae-Seong could understand, what happened and went near Man-Hae and stood in front of her, watching her actions in disbelief. As soon as Man-Hae sensed the presence of someone in front of her, she quickly lifted her head and looked for the face of that presence. Now she could see Dae-Seong standing in front of her, pulling on a weird-still-cold face.

He just hadn't bothered to remember that I was allergic to pepper, and he'd put it in everything. I went into anaphylactic shock and collapsed on the kitchen floor, foaming at the mouth.
