“Aaron, what’s up with you?” Marilla asked with concern, noticing his troubled expression.

“It’s nothing, let’s get going.”

Aaron forced a smile, feigning ease as he casually draped an arm around Marilla’s shoulders, moving forward with the crowd. But his sharp eyes swept the surroundings like radar, undetected and vigilant. Just then, his cellphone buzzed in his pocket.

“I never took her out for fun like Aaron is doing now.”

Jareth’s eyes were red–rimmed, his voice a hoarse whisper, “I thought I was giving her what she wanted, but I never really asked her.”

Marilla, what do you want?

He had asked before, but as she repeatedly answered, “I want to be with Jareth,” he gradually forgot to seek her true desires.
