Cecilia's unwavering belief in him sent a shiver down Daniel's spine.
Her conviction was a stark contrast to the alternate future where he had felt so isolated and lost.
He couldn't help but feel a profound sense of gratitude that she had accepted him.
Her words were a balm to his wounded soul, soothing the doubts and insecurities that had plagued him for so long.
With a smile on his face, Daniel couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment.
"So...now, are we officially in a relationship?" he asked, his tone filled with hope and anticipation.
Cecilia's eyes sparkled with delight as she responded, "Yes, darling!"
Her sudden change in demeanour, from composed to openly affectionate, was a delightful surprise.
She jumped and clung to his arms, and neither of them felt a trace of embarrassment or shyness at that moment.
It was a new beginning for them, and they embraced it with open hearts.
