Kate opens the door and leans the umbrella on the door. She turns her back to Luke and says, “Enjoy
yourself, it can’t compare with your villa.”
Luke enters the door and finds Kate’s room very clean and everything is in order, which makes Luke
feel like an illegal intruder.
The rain is still falling…
Kate doesn’t turn on the light, but pulls all the curtains of the French windows open and then opens two
windows. The cool wind outside sneaks in quietly, with some rain.
Kate sits on the sofa by the window and looks at Luke, who is a little cramped. She says calmly, “Eh?
Why are you so restraint? It’s me who should be worried. I let a man enter my room in the almost
evening.”
But in fact, Luke is no such worry in this part.
It seems that Kate is to ease the atmosphere, so Luke sits opposite to Kate and looks at Kate.
Luke feels that Kate’s eyes are flashing all the time. She looks forward to something. Her eyes are very
different from the usual Kate.
“What the hell is going on?”
When Kate says this, she finds Luke’s shoulder wet by the drizzle and then says, “It’s unnecessary if
you want to remind that night. It’s true that you and me both do something wrong. I doesn’t take care of
my people, and your mood is not very stable.”
Luke says, “I really should apologize to you that night. Anyone with normal mind would say what I said.”
Because Luke feels embarrassed, he directly generalizes the matter that misunderstands Kate to send
a person to attack him.
Kate shrugs her shoulders and says, “There’s no need to apologize. After all You are the victim.”
Luke doesn’t seem to want to continue this topic. He nods and says, “I doesn’t come here today for
this.” Luke sits up straight and tries to focus his eyes on Kate, just as he wants to catch the whole
person with his eyes.
Kate notices something that moves her from Luke’s eyes, but she avoids it habitually. But this time
Luke’s eyes are very firm, no matter how Kate dodges, she is caught by Luke’s eyesight.
So Kate has to give up, so she looks at Luke.
So there only their heart-beat in the room.
“Oh, what is it?” Kate asks and sips her lips.
Luke continues to look into Kate’s eyes, then he takes a deep breath and says, “Kate, I want to tell you
that I love you...”
It’s what Luke wants to say. After all, Luke can’t play any word games. But plain words also mean
power.
Kate is the “victim” of Luke’s powerful words. She widens her eyes and her reddish lips open slightly in
shock.
At the moment, Kate’s emotion is more complicated. If she wants to use metaphors, at that moment,
she feels like she has been hit by a sudden heavy object, such as a meteorite falling on her head; then
she feels like she has fallen into a pile of cotton, which makes her feel that it is not true; then she hears
her huge heartbeat and her body looks like it is sinking into the deep blue sea. And the sea suffocates
her. Luke’s words makes her tinnitus.
Although Kate’s emotion is complicated, Kate is just a kind of expression from the beginning to the end
in Luke’s eyes which is the expression of surprise.
Luke doesn’t know if Kate has any joy or agreement at this time. He urgently knows the answer. “Kate,
what I said is true. I doesn’t dare to admit it before but now I want to tell you.”
Kate feels that has experienced a long century, and she nods her head and tightens her lips.
Kate seems to be beaten back to the original shape by Luke’s words at this time and she becomes a
little girl who is at a loss in the face of a huge beast. Her appearance makes Luke feels that she is
lovely.
“That’s why I’m here!”
It’s an obvious conclusion.
Luke has planned to say a lot before coming, and what kind of language should be used to respond to
different reactions of Kate. But when it comes to the scene, Luke can’t think of anything more.
Kate’s body trembles, then she raises her head slowly. She strokes her long hair with her hand and
murmurs, “Are... are you serious?”
Luke nods, “yes.”
“Well, thank you very much.”
Thank you? Does that mean rejection? Luke doesn’t know.
“Kate, I make a decision before I tell you. To be honest, I am afraid of being rejected. But after that day
I have been thinking that I can’t escape and I want to face my real heart. Kate, please don’t escape.”
If you don’t know, you will think Luke is talking business with Kate, because his expression is really
rigid and serious.
Kate seems to feel very upset. She plays with her fingers and seems to rejects to respond to Luke’s
words.
“Kate, it doesn’t matter how the result is, but I want to know your inner thoughts. It has troubled me for
a long time. Even if the truth is cruel, please let me know.”
“…”
“If you and I have the same idea, that means you like me. Then, if you don’t like me, as long as you tell
me personally, I will leave at once. ”
Luke quietly sits on the sofa and never says a word. All he could do is to wait for the response from
Kate.
“Well, Luke, actually I have an answer for a long time, but I don’t know how to tell you.”
Kate seems to have recovered at last. Although her face is still red, she has not stuttered and has
become the careless girl.
“Please tell me, it doesn’t matter. The love things can’t be forced.”
It seems that Luke is still holding the pessimistic idea.
“But I don’t know how to tell you, so, can you leave first? I will tell you the answer after you leave.”
Luke looks at Kate doubtfully and asks, “Are you still shy? No matter how strong you are, you are still a
girl.”
Kate looks at Luke and says softly, “I just don’t know how to tell you, eh? Can you do it?”
Luke stands up silently and leaves the room dejectedly. He thinks that maybe Kate really wants to
refuse him, but she doesn’t want to refuse him face to face.
