I will see you at the wedding. Next celebration..
我們在婚禮上...慶装６活動上見。
【評】慶兹诨粒活動之前童番，Tom向Grace表白了心意。初看之時(shí)威鹿，覺得甚是感動和欣喜剃斧，就連他把“慶祝活動”誤說成了“婚禮”都覺得很甜忽你，兩個(gè)心靈相通的人終究還是在一起了幼东。
再看時(shí)，帶著已知的結(jié)局科雳，仿佛更能理解這一段了根蟹。在Tom述說心意時(shí)，他始終帶著一顆很糾結(jié)糟秘、不確定的心在述說著简逮，或許就像他自己一開始說的，他并不太確定這是不是愛尿赚。
在Grace的追問之下散庶，他得出結(jié)論：是的。然而當(dāng)Tom得知Grace也同樣也喜歡他時(shí)凌净，他所表現(xiàn)出的并不是欣喜悲龟，而是一種很奇怪的情緒，像是陷入了更深的憂慮冰寻，他又一次的逃避须教、畏縮了。這種猶豫斩芭，可能就預(yù)示著后來的背叛吧轻腺。

【評】慶状炒活動上，Jack McKay坦言自己不再帶便條了膝昆，他不想再假裝自己能夠看得到了丸边。是啊，Grace荚孵，改變了他，也改變了整個(gè)小鎮(zhèn)纬朝。

（未完待續(xù)…）
這一次陶因，又將作出怎樣的抉擇呢骡苞？
