"I can see that," I smiled.
Eventually the other cats warmed to her. We visited the other animals. I ended up paying for an extra hour because she had made friends with one of the hedgehogs. I knew we were just friends now. But was I going to be okay watching her remain like this?
The truth was that I still loved her, that much was still certain. I could easily take things easily but there was no telling when I would start to desire more. There was also something going on in her life that she didn't want me to bother about - that might have to do with her bizarre relationship with Lawrence McSleazy.

After the animal cafe, we visited a restaurant at the Eiffel Tower.
"I bet we could make it if we jumped from the top," she said as we finished our dinner.
I had to look at the structure again and back to her. "There was a man that jumped from the structure with a parachute he made from home."
"Oh, what happened?" she asked.
"He died," I replied.
"Oh," she nodded, and took my arm. "I'd still make it, though."
"Just because you excel at a lot of things that the laws of gravity has automatically made you an absentee," I replied.
"You don't get it, I'll find a way to do it," she insisted.
"In a VR not real life please," I sighed.
"VR? Can I get to use one?" she asked.
"You don't…you haven't used a VR?" I asked in utter disbelief. "You sure your parents might be the problem here?"
"I'm a doctor, we don't have time for fun," she replied.
"Of course, we do," I announced and frowned. "Great now I sound like…"
"Ethan," she completed my statement. "You have a very strange brother."
"I wouldn't deny that," I said.
She chuckled softly and tightened her grip on my arm. We saw a couple kissing.
"Ian?" she called out.
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for today," she said. "I haven't had proper fun for a month."
"What are friends for?" I asked.
She hummed softly.
The conference was still ongoing but we both didn't attend. Neither of us mentioned it or reminded the other that we needed to be there. I guess we just desired our company.
Chapter twenty-two
The False Twin and Prince Charming
Lawrence
For the last month, Natasha had finally started warming up to me. With the way she'd look at me, or even when we would kiss, were all signs that we were finally becoming the couples that we were meant to be all this time. Fine, she wasn't giving me at least thirty percent of her affection,; but with constant practice, she was going to eventually play into my hands and fall completely and hopelessly in love with me. I wouldn’t even have to do much.
