"I didn't want this marriage," he told me, his hand reaching for mine. "But after seeing you, I think it'll be hard to argue any longer with my parents. I think I've fallen in love at first sight. Can you believe it?" he told me, squeezing my hand.
"I can't believe you," I answered him. Who would believe in love at first sight? What does he know about me? Nothing. "If my face is what changed your mind, then it needs more changing."
"No, no," he said, panicked. "You've misunderstood me. In mere seconds, I felt butterflies from your aura. Your voice melted all the ice I'd stored in my heart. And your hand, just holding onto it, brings me to think I'm holding the purest gold there is. I never want to let go of your hand." He intertwined his fingers with mine and I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel those same butterflies.
However, my mind won't be changed. Even if I were to nurture love for him, I know my road's decided. I let go of his hand and try to ignore the lingering warmth.
"Whether your feelings are true does not matter. One way or another, this marriage won't happen. That you can count on," I told him, speaking from my heart.
If we'd met in different circumstances, things might have been different. The spark could have grown to be something more.
