"I'm sorry that I wasn't more resistant to what brings us together and I wish I could think less with my feelings." Squeezing gently, her fingers thread through his. "I've spent time around a lot of people; diplomats, royalty, peasants, and commoners... none of them make me feel what you did the moment you spoke to me in the receiving room. There's something... more." A breath. "Should we ignore it?"
