"But… It’s not that I don’t have the courage to do so. I just have no idea how to tell her about how I feel…”
“Can’t you just tell her directly that you like her and you love her? Love isn’t something complicated. If you beat about the bush, she might not understand what you’re trying to say.”
Cillian thought about every moment he had spent with Yitty. She was exactly the kind of woman who would not be able to grasp what he was trying to say if he spent too much time talking about it.
She had a straightforward personality, and it would be much more suitable to just tell her immediately that he liked and loved her. She might even respond positively to him.
However, Cillian felt a little uncomfortable about saying the words so directly.
“What’s wrong? Are you scared to do it?”
Matthew took two glasses of red wine from the waiter. “Have some wine to drink. It will give you some courage. I believe you’ll be brave enough to say it to her after having this glass.”
“I’ve said before. It’s not that I don’t have the courage to say it.”
Matthew was almost rolling his eyes. Cillian was being wishy-washy about this. It was not manly at all.
“You keep claiming that you have the courage, but if you think about it, none of anything you said to me shows that you have the courage at all. Love isn’t about running away. It’s about having the responsibility to face things. I hope you can really think about this.”
Matthew finished his glass of red wine.
Cillian thought about this seriously. He held the wine glass in his hand but had no idea what to say.
There was a moment of awkwardness between them. That was when Lucy came down the stairs with an anxious look on her face.
She squeezed through the crowd to get to them and said to Cillian, “You should head upstairs right now and have a look. Yitty has passed out from being drunk. She’s refusing to let go of the bottle, and nothing I say is working. I had no choice but to come for you.”
Cillian began to panic as he stood up from the couch.
