"You're fretting over nothing. If she had chosen me, it would have been decades ago, not today." Sounds like there's a story there? Sherilyn was intrigued, "She actually made a choice?" How curious, the Johnson brothers, both highly sought after, and there was Caroline, lucky enough to even have a choice? "Con, spill it. How did she choose? Which of you professed your love first? Or was it a joint confession?" "What are you even saying?" Knowing she was veering off track again, Gilbert couldn't help but laugh, "It wasn't like that at all."

"I got it," Sherilyn nodded, "You're saying back in the day, you young and naive you were too and got sidelined before you could even confess your feelings, right?" Gilbert was exasperated, "Is that what I said? Didn't I make it clear that Caroline and I never had that kind of relationship? Confess?4 never even thought about it that way..." "Well, now you can think about it." Sherilyn earnestly analyzed, "Back then, you did like her, but before you could realize it, you were suppressed."
