“My goal for this trip was to come back with your heart, Mina. You’ve always had mine, but I knew I was going to have to put everything I had into reclaiming yours. I knew you weren’t going to make it easy on me, and I was prepared to use everything to my advantage. The romantic atmosphere, the emotions from the wedding, the proximity of our villas. Everything. And then I saw you at the airport, and I knew I couldn’t wait to start the process of winning you back. So I called my assistant, gave her all of your info, and got you the last seat in first class. The one by me.”
