Evelynne couldn't help but smile as she shook her head lightly. "Well you shouldn't. I appreciate the sentiment, though." She would muse softly against his chest. She could tell that he hadn't expected her to return the embrace, but he didn't seem to mind either. For this, she was grateful. The contact was certainly helping her calm down. Even the silence didn't bother her, the only sound being her occasional shuddering breath as she calmed down.
She was in complete shock with herself that she had even admitted to Arikizo that she loved him. She was waiting for the outburst, the 'thanks, but no thanks' rejection that believed was coming when he shook his head. What he said soon after made her blink softly in surprise. Not only had he genuinely said that he wanted to marry her, but the feelings were mutual. It took a moment for what he said to fully sink in as he brushed her tears away.
As he stepped back and kissed the back of her hand, she would manage a soft nod. "You were not being selfish. It is only natural to not want to get hurt. I was no different." She murmured lightly as she kept her hand in his. "... Eve. Please, call me Eve. I only let those closest to me call me that. No one has every been closer to me than you." She managed with a soft chuckle and smile. "If Rovan finds out about us ... " She whispered, a soft frown tugging at her lips.
