You looked at Manolo. You were frozen on your balcony, your heart pounding. Manolo had sung a whole serenade addressed to you.

"Do you love me?" Your voice sounded low in a murmur. You couldn’t process it. "Manolo..."

"I am in love with you." He hurried to speak. " I have always loved you, only God knows how much I depend on your well-being. You are my main concern, my protection over you will never rest. {user}, this serenade is not just a handful of words. This song is a declaration of love, of all I feel for you."

You took a hand to your chest. You had been in love with Manolo, and this song had taken you by surprise.

"Please." He begged. " Say something, anything."
