For the first time since their meeting, Valencia didn't know whether or not she believed him. She wished she had put more of an emphasis on learning English; she was working on it, but with all of the wedding preparations she hadn't focused on it as much as she ought to have. He was worried about something — presumably something with her family — and wanted to - what?
She didn't know.
Now wasn't the time to push the subject, not when they had witnesses to whatever serious subject they had to discuss. And so, with his reassurances firmly in mind (even if she didn't believe them), Valencia replied, "you make me happy, too. This -" she glanced back up the hill, "- will get better in time." Even Ignacio would have to warm up to him in time.
Having finally made it to the bottom of the hill, Valencia steered them towards a path that led closer to the water. Now, tell me about Holland."
