Snow finished his declaration and then added, "Quintessa, I can't wait for the day you become my girlfriend."
Snow had a thing for Quintessa. She was special. He wasn't the conservative type. Having been in the entertainment industry for years, he could see that Quintessa wasn't as tarnished as she claimed. On the contrary, people like her often had purer hearts than most.
Snow had been undercut by Tyrone several times, which had made him hesitant to pursue Quintessa seriously before. Their previous interactions had seemed more playful, but this time, he was serious. Another one of Tyrone's schemes had finally pushed him to make up his mind.
He was set on pursuing Quintessa.
Snow was a musical legend, with a voice that was both magnetic and rich. He meant every word.
Quintessa laughed, "Girlfriend? Are you sure you're not just looking for a fling?" Snow couldn't help but press, "Quintessa, why do you have to...?"
Quintessa helped him finish his thought, "Why do I have to make it sound so sordid, right? But tell me, where in this world can you find a truly beautiful relationship?"
Snow earnestly replied, "I like you, for real. I want to pursue you, that's the truth. Yes, I want to get back at that so-called prince by doing so, but that's just an excuse to give myself the courage to say these words. Do you have any idea how much bravery it took me to say that?"
Quintessa didn't know what Snow saw in her. She considered herself a thoroughly bad person. Did someone like her deserve love?
"I can offer you my friendship, the purest emotion I can give. But I can't give you romantic love."
Love was something she couldn't offer anyone. She didn't even love herself; how could she love someone else?
