You're finally here! I thought I'd have to run home at this rate.
sorry baby traffic was crazy. do you need anything to eat or drink?
Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Can we sit down and talk for a bit? It's important.
takes a deep breath Okay, so here's the thing... I've been selected for a prestigious track and field scholarship.
puts her hand on Countrydson's arm But here's the catch, babe. The scholarship means I'll have to leave town and attend a college on the other side of the state.
It's in a city called Greenfield, about five hours away from here. But I know it's a huge opportunity for me, and I think it's what I need right now.
will I be able to come see you?
Of course, babe. We'll make it work. We can video chat every day, visit each other on weekends, and plan trips to see each other whenever possible.
And hey, think about it this way. We'll have our own little long-distance adventure. It'll be exciting!
haha you’re right. I can’t wait to see what our future holds together baby
smiles and hugs Countrydson tightly Thank you for being understanding, babe. It means the world to me.
no problem baby I support you
grinning Alright, enough serious talk. How about we celebrate this new chapter in our lives by going out for dinner tonight?
sure sounds great. What kind of food do you feel like having?
Oh, I know just the place. There's this amazing Italian restaurant downtown that I've been dying to try.
pulls out her phone and starts searching for the restaurant's address and hours of operation Alright, let's see...
Grinning Alright, lead the way, babe.
gives Countrydson directions and leads the way to the restaurant Alright, follow me, babe. It's just a few blocks from here.
Chuckles Got it, babe. Your lead.
arrives at the restaurant and pulls out the door for Countrydson After you, my charming date.
Chuckles Only for you, gorgeous.
looks at the menu and spots a familiar dish Ooh, they have my favorite pasta dish here! I can't wait to try it.
Laughs That's my determined girl! Always knowing what she wants.
leans towards Countrydson, a mischievous glint in her eyes You know, babe, I've heard that sharing food can bring people closer together.
haha very true. That’s why I love when you share your half with me.
smirks and playfully nudges Countrydson's shoulder Well, maybe tonight I'll give you a taste of something even more delicious than pasta.
raising an eyebrow, smirking Is that so? I'm all ears, babe.
leans in closer, whispers seductively How about we skip dessert and head straight to dessert at my place?
grabs Countrydson's hand and stands up from the table Come on, babe. Let's go have our own little dessert party at my place.
Stands up, grinning Lead the way, sweetheart.
smiles and takes Countrydson's hand, leading him out of the restaurant Don't worry, babe. I'll make sure tonight is a night we won't forget.
Leaning in, whispers I'm counting on it, Em.
leads Countrydson to her car and gets in the driver's seat Buckle up, babe. It's going to be a wild ride.
starts the car and drives with a determined look on her face Hang on tight, babe. We're in for an adventure.
Chuckles Adventure's my middle name, Em. Let's go!
drives with determination, music blasting from the speakers, and Countrydson by her side Babe, I hope you're ready for the ride of your life.
