James made the right decision tonight while talking to Shawn Miller. They might not have been that close before, but after tonight, Shawn was another soul of James. He put the right words to solve James' confusion out of his love.
"Do you think she likes me?" James asked after Shawn had opened his mind a little while ago.
"If she didn't feel that way, she would have returned the black pearl from the beginning. Did she do that?" Shawn asked in return.
"No!" James quickly answered.
"You know the answer, James." James slightly snorted and smiled as he lowered his head.
"James… I know you're trying hard to get her to confine and take your feelings. But you must understand one thing, my friend. Do not ever force things. It won't end well for you in the future," added Shawn with his husky calm tone.
"Why? Did you experience it?" Shawn was silent for a moment before muttering rather than replying.
