“Yes,” Elias answered, unthinking and immediate, before he even registered what the question was or was not – she hadn’t even finished it. He wondered vaguely if he should be embarrassed; he wasn’t sure if his smile, growing a little broader now, held any chagrin or just a little furtiveness. He felt a laugh almost brimming again, at himself – at the way he felt so sure about this.
Because the answer was yes, whatever the question. (He was sorry if Evangeline hadn’t meant anything by it, but the thing about Eva was that she had always been far too easy to be honest with. Pretensions had always fallen away so naturally. Even here and now, she had been smiling at him, and it was impossible to even dream of lying to her.) Yes, I love her; yes, I’m going to marry her; yes, I’m happier than I ever thought I would be. “Yes,” he said again, biting his lip but nodding profusely. “I think I’d about given up on it all when I found her,” he admitted, “but...” Elias shrugged and smiled again, here we are; he was basking too much in his contentedness to mind if she laughed at him for it. Only now did he return to the question of their meeting at the refreshments, and – since he was already being entirely transparent – he decided he may as well ask, half-entertained and half-nervous. “What did you talk about?”
