At 6:30 in the evening, Geoffrey and Serena went downstairs for dinner. It was the first meal that they will share together in their new home.
Entering the dining room, the plates were set up in a way that Geoffrey would be sitting on the head chair and Serena beside him.
Noticing the confusion in Geoffrey's expression, Serena explained, "I asked for this arrangement. Do you… approve of it?"
Geoffrey could only smile and nod in response. Sometimes, he feels it ironic. That he believes that he loves Serena more than she could ever love him, but minute details such as this always escapes him.
Was it because Serena grew up in a loving family, thus more aware that this was how it should be? Or was it that she loves him more than he gives her credit for?
Before he could contemplate much further, he felt Serena intertwine their hands as she pulled him towards their respective seats, "Come on, let's sit down. I'm famished."
