Immediately hearing what Oliver just said, Cora shook her head with a half-smile. "Don't worry. I'll play my part perfectly. I knew what I was signing up for when I came to you."
Then Oliver looked at her for a long moment, grateful. And deep down, he couldn't stop thinking maybe this pretend game might just become the most real thing in his life.
At that moment, Oliver then said, "No problem, then. I will just get my stuff ready and we'll start with the process immediately."
Cora's eyes brightened with relief, her shoulders finally loosening as if a heavy burden had just been lifted. She clasped her hands together and said softly, "Oliver… thank you. You don't know how much this means to me. I'm very, very thankful and grateful that you're willing to do this. I'm truly happy about it."
