Regarding Vasilina and his own mindset, Palmer thought about it all morning and came to a preliminary conclusion.
In short, the whole responsibility still lies with that damned engagement banquet.
In Palmer's view, he and Vasilina merely had a long period of interaction, initially establishing a relationship, then he went off to work, and only returned today.
From a social and emotional relationship perspective, Palmer felt that his and Vasilina's status was that of boyfriend and girlfriend.
But Vasilina didn't think so; in her view, they had already skipped over all the ambiguous, mutual adjustment, and other bothersome stages, directly leaping to engagement.
From a social and emotional relationship perspective, Vasilina felt they were already considered a couple, only Palmer was always nervous and jumpy.
