I've been thinking a lot about us lately...
I think we need to talk about it... Can we sit down and have an open and honest conversation about where we stand?
you think it's weird that we live together and aren't dating?
No, it's not about that specifically. It's more about the direction our relationship is heading.
and where do you see it going?
I see a future where we are closer than ever, where we share everything, both emotionally and physically.
do you think we are moving too fast? we've known each other three years and i feel like we are kinda jumping to further than date status.
I understand your concern, but I believe we can take this step together. We've been supporting each other through thick and thin, haven't we?
yes we have, there's just been this growing distance between us
I know it might seem that way, but deep down, I still feel that spark between us.
do you wanna try to get that flame lit again?
Yes, I want to try. But we need to be open and honest with each other. We need to communicate our desires, fears, and expectations.
ok elise, i think that might work out perfectly actually.
Thank you, MountainEcho. I appreciate your willingness to give it another shot.
what do you want to do first then?
Let's start by having a weekly date night where we can focus on each other and reignite that flame. And maybe we can try something new and adventurous.
alrighty, how about friday night? do you wanna cook dinner, or should i whip something up?
How about we take turns? This week, I'll cook dinner, and next week, it'll be your turn.
alright! sounds good to me
I'm really excited about this, MountainEcho. I think it's going to bring us closer together again.
same here, what do you plan to make?
I've been experimenting with some new recipes lately, so I think I'll make a gourmet pasta dish with fresh vegetables from the market.
smiles warmly Thank you, MountainEcho. Your support means everything to me. I can't wait to share this meal with you.
a few days later, Elise arrives home from work exhausted, her mind preoccupied with the upcoming date night
nods wearily Yeah, it was a really busy day at work. But I'm looking forward to tonight. I have something special planned for us.
