"Claire!" Taylor was excited to see her. He wanted to get close to her and his hands started wandering inappropriately. "Can I take you horseback riding? The royal stables are magnificent!"
He gestured enthusiastically like a child.
"I told you, I don't like horseback riding," Claire didn't stop walking and maintained her distance. But she didn't want to offend anyone so she explained again with a smile.
But Taylor didn't understand her meaning, or perhaps he simply didn't want to.
"What do you like then? Do you like golf?" He walked beside her, eyes shining, still persisting enthusiastically.
"I don't like that either," Claire shook her head and quickened her pace.
"What about skiing?"
"Don't like it."
"Well what do you like?" Taylor followed beside her, always smiling at her. "Just tell me what you like and I'll like it too!"
Hearing this, Claire suddenly dropped her smile and stopped!
Taylor also stopped, still looking at her happily and expectantly, thinking Claire was finally going to answer seriously. He was anticipating it!
"Prince Taylor, why can't I get through to you?" Claire was exasperated and finally blurted out, "Do you like me?"
"Huh?" Even Taylor was surprised for a moment. The conversation had turned around?
But he had shown his feelings obviously right?
So he nodded and quickly replied, "Yes, I like you a lot!"
