"Do you love her?" Daphne asks Kian about Tessa. She knew about his true feelings for Tessa but still, Daphne wanted to hear him say it. Somehow it felt like she was trying to use his words to let go of something in her heart. "Do you love Tessa?" Daphne asked again because Kian was being quiet, Daphne knew that he heard her, and she thought that Kian was refusing to speak because his words might offend her. "It's okay to tell me that you love her, after all, she's your mate," Daphne said. She was trying to encourage Kian to speak.
