Alice's mind

He had a charm about him that could make those who approached him fall completely, even if they knew there was a sea of swords and thorns and fire ahead, they would have no regrets.

Alice thought that she had not yet reached the level of Lily, but that she was attracted to him could not be faked.

Although she had never been in love, Alice had seen the TV series and knew that a girl's heart felt the way she did now.

Nervous at the sight of him, sweet and annoyed at the thought of him, her mind remembering every detail of their meeting, able to recall clearly every expression and movement he made, feeling uncomfortable about Lily's presence and feeling happy that he was cold to Lily.

In a word, she was hopeless.

Alice felt hopeless when she thought of the racial disparity between them and all that lay between them.
