"I know you were guilty in the past, but it's different now..." His voice was far lower, so that the guard, if he happened to come back, wouldn't hear that little bit. The last thing he needed was a 'confession' from Ella to deal with.

"Are you sure you'll be alright? It's really not that big a deal for me to sit down here with you all day. I love your company." Still, he stood up, ready to leave if she was certain. There were things he needed to do, a wedding ring forged for her, various details for their wedding figured out. It was one of those affairs that he'd certainly rather happen sooner, rather than later.
