Chapter 31

Almost immediately, the aura of sadness disappeared from Damian's face and he stood up from his seat. He walked over to the antique music player, then selected a cassette which he placed on top of the player. And then he pressed the start button.

A melodious and romantic rhythm echoed in the room. Damian stepped to Tom's side with his hand outstretched in front of Tom.

Tom fell silent as she understood Damian's behavior. 'This move...'

"As for my last request, will you dance with me?" Damian bowed as nobles did when a man asked the person he wanted to dance for an invitation to dance with.

'When the panic subsides and the worry is gone, just for now, just this once, will you give me a chance to hold your hand?' Damian didn't have the courage to express his feelings. In his hope, the words that were spoken in his heart would be conveyed directly to Tom even though it was an impossible thing.
