After the moment
After I asked her - much too late, I know - she asked (she was smiling beautifully) if that was so hard after all.
Yes - not because I was afraid of the answer (I'm of the opinion that one invariably knows beforehand the answer to these sort of questions), but because I was afraid of myself. Your smile erased any doubts.
