But, ever since the death of Mimi, he had not made any romantic gestures nor confessed any feelings for her again, so she was beginning to worry that he had changed his mind about her.
With the sudden appearance of Marissa, these doubts grew stronger. Emerson had mentioned that he liked a woman for a long time. Was that woman, Marissa?

"Busy for dinner?" Emerson asked questioningly.
