After a long time, Grace snapped back to her senses. With torrent Of emotions flowing in her eyes, she asked.

" Arthur, what do I exactly mean to you? I mean you said you were always happy even before I come. So what changes into your life when I am with you?"

Arthur gazed at her silently. She couldn't read his eyes.

" I don't know. What I feel towards you, it's just something I have never felt before. Yeah, before you come, I was also happy. And now, I am also very happy. The only difference would be if you are gone from my life now, then I won't be happy anymore. My life would feel bland without you...
As long as you are by my side, it doesn't matter if you are my friend, my lover or whatever. I am happy!"

" Then why did you confess? We are already friends. What would be the difference when we are more than friends for you?"

" ...My feelings towards you are that of a man. Moreover, I believe a lover, a life partner is the closest person to anyone. And I want to be closest to you. I also think that if they are together, we will be happier than ever."

" Grace, if you see me as a man, then please, give me a chance. I swear I will never betray you. It's just not in my blood. If you are scared of something, tell me I will eliminate it for you. If you really want to, I can let you go. All I want is a promise that you will be safe and happy."

" Can you really let me go?"

" It will be hard and painful. But for you, anything Grace. If you look back, I will always be there."

" Do you want me to answer now?"

" No. I was just expressing myself. You can answer me anytime you want. Right now or years later."

Grace looked down and smirked meaningfully. Her eyes flashed with helplessness as if she's defeated. She took a deep breath and looked up.
With an inexplicable gaze, she called out tenderly.

" Arthur."

" Hmm?" He turned towards her.

Grace suddenly pulled him close. Her hand over his face with a finger touching his ears. They were just an inch apart as she whispered in the most beautiful melody.

" I Love You Too." I lost. I am helpless against someone like you. I can't not love you anymore.

Then she stood on tiptoe and kissed him. Arthur was frozen. Though he always subconsciously wished for it, he never dared to dream for this. He never draws to ask for too much. He really didn't expect this. He felt like it will take forever or maybe she will never be his. But it felt like a beautiful miracle as his dream came true.

Grace gave him a light peck and left. As they gazed at the unwavering eyes of others, they felt their hearts beating faster and faster.

Arthur suddenly pulled her closer by her nape and asked in a hoarse voice.

" May I?!" His gaze was so deep and yearning. Grace dazedly nodded.

Arthur kissed her passionately and it lasted a long time. When they finally pulled apart, they both panted. After calming down, Arthur chuckled happily. He suddenly picked her up by the hips and spin her around as he said while laughing like a child.

" I Love You! I Love Eliza! Thank you! Thank You so much, Grace~ "

At first, Grace was stunned seeing him so excited. When he suddenly picked her up, she was shocked and held onto his neck. Hearing his words, she felt warm and beloved.

Finally, a beautiful and genuine smile blossomed on her face as she stared at the happy and excited Arthur.

When he finally put her down, she said to him with a smile.

"You excited like a child!"

" Of course! This is my dream come true. You know Grace, I never actually had a dream. Something I really yearn for, something I could do anything to achieve, something I could work tirelessly for but after I met you, I finally got a dream. I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life. I love you. I really do."

" Hmm. Arthur, I lost against you. I really can't not love you anymore."
