Chapter 38 I need your answer about courting you

• “Caroline. I will get a divorce. Can I court you?”
• When he said it to me, my spirit awoke. Why would he do such a thing? Beatrice and I are fine, and I am fine with Stanley, even though I know what I am doing now is unfair. But I’m not sure I can forgive myself for what I’m committing now; I’m too concerned about what I’m perpetrating with Stanley. What Andrius is doing to me makes me feel as though I’m drowning.
• I didn’t respond, instead; I stared at the thing that was now pounding my stomach. My eyelids relaxed, as though drowsy, and I felt captivated. My flush was already visible. I didn’t respond to his question.
