Dawn Sutherland took a sharp drag of his cigarette, coughing twice due to his haste. When he spoke again, his voice was a bit hoarse and raspy: "Arlo, back then you waited for Ariel, knowing full well that her return date was uncertain, yet you still chose to wait, without hesitation, for eight years. But as a brother, I never asked you to give up on her, so Arlo, can you say to me, tell me not to give up on Daisy?"
Arlo Seys sighed heavily, speaking in a deep tone: "It's different, Dawn. Ariel left alone, so of course I'd wait. But Daisy Grant is getting married, she's marrying Aidan Sutherland. She's about to become your sister-in-law, don't you know? Once she marries Aidan, any possibility between you two is zero! Are you hoping that after her marriage she would divorce him and be with you? Dawn, even if she divorces, you'll be related as uncle and sister-in-law, marrying Daisy will suffocate you with scandalous talks!"
