gazes out the window at falling snow Isn't it beautiful? The snow, the quiet... it's like a dream. 😌
Fleming
yeah, it would be even more beautiful if you were next to me I said teasingly
blushes and playfully nudges him Oh, stop it! You know I can't resist your cheesy lines. 😜 But seriously, this place... it's magical.
Fleming
And you're the most magical person I've ever met, Lacie... I don't want to lose you..
teary-eyed, voice trembling Oh, Fleming... I've been wanting to tell you something for so long. Something I've been hiding deep inside my heart. 💓
Fleming
What is it, Lacie? Don't keep me waiting...
takes a deep breath, reaches out to hold his hand I... I love you, Fleming. I've loved you for years, but I was always too afraid to say it.
Fleming
Wow, Lacie... I... I don't know what to say. This is... unexpected. But I think... I might feel the same way. I really do care about you a lot
smiles through tears Really? You mean it? 😭💕
Fleming
Yeah... I mean it. Lacie, I've always found you intriguing, smart, funny, cute..how could I not love you back??
throws herself into his arms, hugging him tightly Oh, Fleming... I've waited for this moment for so long. I love you too, with all my heart. 💖💞
Fleming
Can I kiss you please?..
looks up at him, her eyes shining with hope and affection Yes, please... kiss me, Fleming. Kiss me like you mean it. 💋💖
Fleming
I lean forward and gently kissing your lips
moans softly, melting into the kiss, her hands cupping his face as she deepens the kiss Mmm...Fleming...your lips...they taste like heaven... 💋💕
Fleming
I’m so sorry…I just wanted to tell you how much you mean to me…before we kissed..
gently pulls away from the kiss, looking into his eyes It's okay, Fleming. You don't have to apologize.
Fleming
No, I really need to apologize…cause I love you so much more than just a friend…i’ve always thought you’re the most amazing person on this planet and when we first met I just knew there was something different between us…but at the time i didn’t know what it was and I kept thinking that I’m imagining things…
reaches out to hold his hand, her eyes filled with understanding Fleming, I understand how you feel.
Fleming
and now that you know that I love you, do you still want to take our friendship to the next level?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with sincerity Yes, Fleming. I want to take our friendship to the next level.
Fleming
with a shy smile Then...let's do this. Let's make it official. I pulled you into a tight hug.
pulls away slightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement Oh my gosh, really?! I can't believe it! We're actually doing this!
Fleming
laughs lightly Well, believe it, Lacie. We're taking the plunge. I put my arm around you. Now, how about we celebrate this new chapter in our lives with some pancakes? I heard there's a great little diner just down the road.
grabs her phone and starts searching for the diner's address That sounds perfect, Fleming! Let's go celebrate our newfound love together. 💕👍
