Re: Belvina/Stephen
Belvina was relieved when Stephen dropped it. Whilst she didn't get truly offended easily, she wasn't as sure of Stephen's tolerance for an argument. However, she could tell he was disappointed and she wished - oddly - that she could see things from his point of view. "I'm... Sorry. That my feelings on the subject are so limited."
"Is it really... I don't know. Like the romance novels suggest? Love?" she asked tentatively. Belvina didn't know why she was asking as hearing the answer - if it was what she feared it would be - would only make her inquisitive and love had never been a part of her future plans. Not truly.
