"Mayor Evan, kinakabahan na po talaga ako, eh." Hindi ko na talaga napigilang aminin. Gusto ko nang malaman kung bakit hinahanap niya ako. "Ako rin, eh. Kinakabahan na," sabi niya sa mahinang boses pero malinaw na narinig ko iyon. "Po?" Tumikhim siya. "I told you, there's no offense or violation. But there's a problem. It's me."

Ang way ng pagkakatingin niya sa akin, ibang klase. Tumatawid sa kaluluwa, tumatagos sa puso. Nagsalita siya, sa mahina pero masuyong boses, "This may sound crazy, but believe me, Ellie. I think I fell for you the first time ever I saw your face."

"Uhh...m-maybe you could discuss the name some other time, Sirs and Ma'ams." Umawat na ako bago pa kung ano ang masabi ninuman. Pakiramdam ko kasi ay biglang nagka-tensiyon sa loob ng silid. "Are you both eyeing this girl?" Tumuro sa gawi ko ang CEO namin na tila hindi narinig ang sinabi ko. Napayuko ako. "Well, I am," deklara ni Sir Maui.
