"If I'm to marry someone, it will be my decision. Do you understand?"

"Y...yes. Of course."

"Good," he said. "And, you have a thing there."

He came closer to me and I took in a breath again, feeling my legs go shaky. He reached up to my hair and, focusing, took something off. He threw the piece of clothing fuzz on the floor. The moment between him putting his hand down and backing away felt like ages for some reason. All I could do was stare into those beautiful eyes. I didn't even notice my mouth was slightly open, or that I was looking at him as if he was a thanksgiving turkey.
