His hands seemed to be bewitched, bending down gently. The intoxicating fragrance made him almost unable to control himself, wanting to cup her face tightly. Rationally, his past experience with morality and etiquette told him that this was not the behavior of a gentleman, but a voice in his heart became clearer and clearer.
