Abril was about to get out of bed, but Alessandro stopped her.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I have dance lessons today and also lessons with Sir Gabriel."
"The doctor said you should rest."
"I'm fine, besides, the dance is in a few days. I don't want to be embarrassed when the day of the dance arrives for not knowing how to dance."
"That won't happen. On that day, you'll be the most dazzling and beautiful woman in the place. Everyone will be so absorbed by your beauty that even if you make a mistake, they won't notice."
"Even so, I want to get it perfect. I want everyone to see that I'm worthy of being by your side."
"That's not true. In fact, I'm the one who's not worthy of being by your side."
Abril got up and said to him, "Even so, I don't want others to talk about me."
