紧，身子的力道那样大，爱茉尔直被推得往后退了一小步。她抬手环住他的脖颈，“Then promise me that you, too, will tell me everything that is going on in that brilliant mind of yours.” （那你也得保证，你会告诉我一切发生在你那颗聪明的脑袋里的想法。）

说着，轻轻点了点他的额角。

爱茉尔眸光盈盈流转。汤姆低低地笑，揽着她的肩朝卧室走去。路过书桌时，他顺手将戒指藏进抽屉，动作不着痕迹。

“I do have something to tell you… Or rather, someone to introduce to you. But as a student who just learned a lesson on appreciating people whom one holds dear, I should first thank you for this mighty gift…”（我的确有件事要告诉你…… 或者更确切地说，有个人想介绍给你认识。不过呢，既然我才刚刚学会如何珍惜身边重要的人，我还是得先好好报答你的这份大礼才行……）

……蝶吮花髓，蜂恋蜜巢。窗外寒夜风卷残雪，房内烛光却长明达旦，帐里早已玉蚌吐露，芳蕊湿红。

何须再道中间事？连理枝头连理枝。
