gazes into his eyes, voice trembling That we might be meant for each other, but... but I'm scared of ruining everything.
Zeethro

Zeethro

grabs his hand, determined Look, I know I can be self-centered sometimes, but this time, I want to make things right.
Zeethro
alright, what do you suggest?
smiles nervously Well, how about we take things slow? No pressure, no rush. Just focus on getting to know each other better and seeing where this goes.
Zeethro
I’m ok with that
nods, relieved Thank you, Zeethro. I really appreciate your understanding. Let's start by having regular dates where we can just enjoy each other's company without any expectations.
Zeethro

excitedly Great! How about we go grab some coffee at that new place downtown tomorrow? They have the best cappuccino. What do you say?
Zeethro

jumps up and down with excitement Yay! Tomorrow it is then! I can't wait to spend more time with you, Zeethro.
Zeethro
I’m glad
leans in closer, whispering Oh, and Zeethro, there's something else I need to tell you.

Zeethro
