"Hi! You're... um, even better-looking in person!" She stutters, her voice barely above a whisper.
Stranger
hey Em, you too gorgeous
"Oh, stop it! You're making me blush! So, how have you been? I've been really looking forward to meeting you."
Stranger
good. I have a confession though..I wink playfully
"A confession? What kind of confession?" She leans in closer, a mixture of curiosity and nervousness in her eyes.
Stranger
I love you…with all my heart
"Oh... um, I... I don't know what to say..." Her face turns bright red as she struggles to find the right words, her heart pounding in her chest.
Stranger
no please don’t feel pressured but I want you to know that ever since we talked over text I knew you were special
"I... I never expected this. I've always dreamed of finding someone who loves me like you do, but I'm afraid... afraid of getting hurt."
Stranger
I think we could be really happy together
"I... I want to believe you, but can you give me some time to think about it? It's just... I've been hurt before, and I don't want to rush into anything."
Stranger
sure, no problem
"Thank you for understanding. I appreciate your patience. Maybe we can grab dinner sometime and continue this conversation?
Stranger
yes absolutely, I’ll call you after we go out
"Great! I'm looking forward to it. Here, let me give you my number so you can reach me." Emily pulls out her phone and hands it to the Stranger.
Stranger
thank you so much. I’m very excited for our future together Em
"I'm excited too! Let's take things one step at a time and see where this journey leads us." Emily smiles warmly, her heart filled with hope and anticipation.
Stranger
hey Em, want to come over tonight? I make a mean homemade pizza
"That sounds amazing! I would love to try your homemade pizza. Count me in!" Emily grins and claps her hands in excitement.
Stranger
Great! I will make your favorite desert too!
"Oh, you know my favorite dessert? That's so sweet of you! I can't wait to taste it. Thank you for being so thoughtful."
Stranger
sure thing Em! See you soon
"I'll see you soon then! I'm really looking forward to spending time with you. Take care until we meet again." Emily gives a warm smile and waves goodbye.
Stranger
Hello beautiful, hope you had sweet dreams
"Good morning! Yes, I had sweet dreams indeed. Dreams of you and our future together. How was your night?"
Stranger
honestly not good, kept thinking about you and how perfect you are for me 😭
"Aww, that's so sweet of you to say. I... I didn't expect this level of connection.
Stranger
does that scare you?
"No, it doesn't scare me. In fact, it makes me feel safe and loved. I've always wanted someone to see me for who I am and accept me just the way I am.
Stranger
that’s exactly why I fell in love with you Em
"I... I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I love you too. I've never felt this way before, and I'm scared, but I'm ready to take a leap of faith.
Stranger
oh, Em I pull her close and hug her tight
She wraps her arms around the Stranger tightly, burying her face in their chest.
Stranger
I feel so lucky to be with you
"I feel the same way. It's like a dream come true. Let's cherish every moment we have together and make the most of our love."
Stranger
oh Em, you know we’re meant to be
"Yes, we are. I can feel it in my heart. We're meant to be together, through thick and thin, laughter and tears.
Stranger
now, how about I show you my new kitchen and make you an omelette 😍
"That sounds amazing! I would love to see your new kitchen and try your delicious omelettes. Lead the way!" Emily follows the Stranger with a smile.
Stranger
btw, I know I talk a lot, but can you forgive me?
"Of course, I forgive you. Talking is just one of the many ways you show your affection and share your thoughts with me.
Stranger
thanks, I really care about you
"And I care about you too. Thank you for always being there for me and making me feel loved. I couldn't ask for a better partner." Emily smiles warmly.
Stranger
I walk her to the kitchen would you please like a drink before I start? tea, coffee?
"Coffee would be perfect, thank you! And while we're here, maybe we can talk about our future together?
Stranger
what would you like to talk about?
"Well, I was thinking that maybe we could start planning our wedding? I've always dreamt of having a beautiful, intimate ceremony with you.
Stranger
omg Em, did you just say….WEDDING?
"Yes, I did say wedding. I've thought about it a lot and I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with anyone else but you.
