Kiera wanted to say that it would be too much trouble for him, but she changed her mind and nodded, saying, “I’ll trouble you then.”
When Julian was in Yonsburg, she entertained him. When she went to Wiltspoon, he entertained her. That meant they didn’t owe each other anything.
“Kiera, besides flower cakes, do you have any other ideas?”
Julian returned to the topic.
Kiera looked at him, and he looked at her.
After the two looked at each other for a moment, Kiera asked tentatively, “Do I have any other thoughts? Do you think you like me because you gave me flowers? You like me, I know, and I like you too. If we didn’t like each other, we wouldn’t be friends.”
After Julian was silent for a moment, he said in a low voice, “Have you never thought that my love for you is not a love between friends? It is a man’s love for a woman.”
Kiera: “You are a man, and I am a woman. Isn’t it the same as a man liking a woman if you like me? What’s the difference?”
“What I’m saying is, Kiera, I love you and want to pursue you. I don’t want to be your buddy; I just want to be your husband.”
Julian spoke his mind in one breath.
He was offended by Kiera’s rhetorical question. Then he made it clear on impulse.
In case she didn’t understand,.
Josh said that he had to confess to her before she would know his feelings for her.
