Harley blinked.
He meant to say...
"Are you telling me that our relationship isn't headed towards marriage?" she asked seriously.
"Ah?" This time, it was Calvert's turn to blink.
"Do you really think I'm just playing with you?" she asked again.
"No!" His face flushed red, "I know you're serious about me, it's just..."
"Do you really think we'll actually get married?" she asked.
He remained silent, as if by his silence, he was agreeing with what had been said.
Yeah, the more they interacted, the clearer the gap between them became.
Being in a relationship is already a stroke of luck; how could I even dare to dream of marriage!
Seeing her boyfriend looking so downcast, Harley suddenly didn't know whether to feel sorry for him or to be angry.
She always understood his insecurities.
But the gap between their families was huge and unchangeable, so all she could do was show her love for him as much as she could, hoping he'd understand her feelings and gain a bit more confidence.
