Dove stood in deep thought for a moment. And then an idea came to her, one she was sure would work. "I could convince my parents to let me attend societal events. Not in stealth as I have been but... truly attending. And then we could 'meet' at one as I am sure one of their many questions will be how we met and the truth of that I cannot inform them of."

He was right, though. Even then, they would be disapproving. And not just because of who she truly was. "My brother would approve so long as I am happy. And what's important is that I quite approve of you."
