Cornelia didn't wanna hear all that jazz that troubled her. So, she moved closer to Marcus and hugged him, "Grandpa Augustine took me around to meet all these folks this afternoon, where the hell were you? I didn't see hide nor hair of you."
Cornelia thought Grandpa Augustine would introduce her and Marcus to everyone together. But at the Duran family's mansion, she found Marcus had upped and vanished. She didn't see him at all that afternoon.
Marcus gently patted her head, "What's the matter? You missed me or something?"
Cornelia didn't hide her feelings, "I missed you. More than I thought I would."
Cornelia herself wasn't sure when Marcus started to take up such a big part of her life.
Her words deeply touched Marcus. He'd been longing for her to say something like this, but also scared of it, "How much did you miss me?"
Cornelia looked up at him, blushing, and whispered, "I missed you a lot. Without you by my side, I'm always lost in my own world."
Marcus tried to control his urge to kiss her, "That's not a good sign. One should not depend too much on another."
Cornelia started to feel anxious, "Marcus, I'm telling you that I miss you. Just tell me you miss me too. I don't need your rational analysis!"
Marcus said, "Love is mutual attraction between two people. But in the end, we all need reason."
Cornelia got pissed off and yelled, "Marcus, are you trying to piss me off to death, so you can go after some young pretty girl?"
Marcus answered, "I have no such intentions."
Cornelia said, "You're not that heartless then. Where the hell were you this afternoon?"
Marcus replied, "I had a card game with Steven, Lucas, and a few others."
