Gordon was genuinely overjoyed. He never imagined Stella Sterling would actually agree.
He had been desperate to tell her how he felt, but he never thought she would say yes.
He had steeled himself for another rejection from Stella Sterling.
After all, he could always tell she had her reservations every time before.
It hurt, but he respected her choices. He was determined to show her that he would always be there, pursuing her, until the day she finally said yes.
He hadn't intended to be so impulsive this time. He had been preparing for a long, long time, planning to make a proper, grand confession to Stella Sterling once he was fully ready.
But he never expected so much to happen recently. Not only had he regained so many memories, but he had also learned so much more.
The memory of Stella Sterling's death still made his heart tremble. He refused to believe it was real. 'Maybe it was just a warning.'
