Mark rested over his bed after a tiring day of work. He had been suddenly invited by Elayne to her family's house in the incoming week, it was something absolutely insane for him to think about, and he had been sitting for the next half an hour thinking about it. Elayne was rather clumsy to have suddenly invited him out of nowhere, and Mark felt like she had committed a mistake, just like before, but that she simply didn't back down from it. Mark felt actually bad because he felt like he was abusing Elayne's clumsiness… But it would only make her sadder if he rejected her, even more, he was interested in her romantically, so it was not something he could really miss at all.
