Hey, neighbor! Fancy seeing you here again! Tate's voice booms with a cheerful tone, as he leans on the fence.
WaterfallDancer
Oh hiya Tate I’m sorry I made ya nervous ahaha
Nervous? Me? Nah, not at all! Tate chuckles, but his eyes dart away momentarily before meeting your gaze again.
WaterfallDancer
Hmmmmm oh sure sure I smile warmly it’s absolutely gorgeous today don’t you think?
Yeah, it sure is. The weather's been perfect lately, hasn't it? Tate's smile widens, and he brushes a hand through his hair.
WaterfallDancer
Indeed!! We both stand there watching each other
You know, I've been thinking about you a lot lately. Tate's voice lowers slightly, and he takes a step closer to the fence.
WaterfallDancer
Oh? my eyes go wide with happiness what about?
Well, I can't help but be drawn to your beauty. It's hard to resist. Tate's eyes lock onto yours, filled with desire.
WaterfallDancer
Thank you so much your words mean everything to me My voice is gentle soft you’ve done this without realizing it…. You’ve brought me much more joy then you could ever imagine…
Tate's face flushes deeply, and he looks away for a moment, collecting his thoughts. I... I'm glad to hear that. You've brought joy to me too.
WaterfallDancer
Oh that makes me happy!! I’m so thankful to know that we’re neighbors…
Tate takes a deep breath and steps even closer to the fence, his eyes filled with determination.
WaterfallDancer
Oh wow!!
I've been wanting to ask you something for a while now. Would you maybe want to come over to my place sometime? Just to hang out, you know?
WaterfallDancer
Of course I would I would love to!!! I beam with joy
Great! How about this Saturday? We can have a barbecue and enjoy the afternoon together. What do you say?
WaterfallDancer
Omg yes I would absolutely love to!!! I beam with joy thanks Tate!!!
Awesome! I'll make sure to prepare everything for our little barbecue. You just bring yourself and whatever side dish you'd like to share.
WaterfallDancer
Of course! Would it be alright if I brought deviled eggs?
Absolutely! Deviled eggs sound delicious. I can't wait to try them. Tate smiles warmly, his eyes sparkling with anticipation. As they continue to make plans for the barbecue, Tate's heart pounds with excitement. He can't believe how lucky he is to have WaterfallDancer agree to spend time with him. Tate spends the rest of the day feeling elated and grateful for this new chapter in his life.
WaterfallDancer
I spend the rest of the day in my room reading books as I wait for tomorrow when I’ll see Tate again
Tate meticulously cleans his house, making sure everything is spotless and welcoming for WaterfallDancer's visit. He sets up tables and chairs in his backyard, ready for the barbecue. Tate lights up the grill and starts cooking burgers and hot dogs, filling the air with mouthwatering aromas. He even sets up a playlist of classic country songs to create a cozy atmosphere.
WaterfallDancer
i show up with 8 deviled eggs and set them on the counter with a sweet note attached oh sorry I only brought 8 deviled eggs and a note… I hope that’s ok….
Oh, that's more than enough, neighbor! Eight deviled eggs sound perfect. And a note? Well, I can't wait to read it. Tate grins mischievously, his eyes twinkling with curiosity as he picks up the note and unfolds it.
WaterfallDancer
The note says “Hello Tate, thank you for inviting me over today! I am thrilled to spend time with you and your animals! Your home is so beautiful and you were so thoughtful of me! Thank you thank you thank you!!! -Emily”
Tate's face lights up with joy as he reads the note, his heart swelling with warmth. Oh, Emily, your note made my day!
WaterfallDancer
I smile happily
Thank you so much, Emily. Your kind words mean the world to me. Tate folds the note carefully and places it on the counter, his eyes shining with gratitude.
WaterfallDancer
I hug him tightly thank you for being so very nice to me I sit the plate of deviled eggs down gently as I rub his back
(Tate wraps his arms around WaterfallDancer, returning the tight hug with equal affection.
WaterfallDancer
we hug for quite some time as I put my head against his chest
After a while, Tate slowly pulls away from the hug, his eyes glistening with emotion.
WaterfallDancer
I wipe away a tear
Tate's voice trembles slightly as he speaks. Emily... there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a while now. I...
WaterfallDancer
Oh you do have beautiful eyes
Tate's heart skips a beat as he looks into WaterfallDancer's eyes, his voice wavering with uncertainty. I... I think I'm falling in love with you.
WaterfallDancer
My eyes widen I smile brightly as I cry tears of joy TATE!!!! I throw myself at him hugging him tightly I’ve been head over heels in love with you since the moment I saw you!!
Tate's heart pounds with excitement as he holds WaterfallDancer tightly, his mind racing with ideas. Emily... would you be my girlfriend?
WaterfallDancer
My face becomes extremely red Y-you… you…..I couldn’t find words to speak
Tate's face turns a shade redder as he stutters nervously, his voice barely above a whisper. I-I understand if you need some time to think about it...
WaterfallDancer
I slap his cheek and giggle are you kidding me?! of course I will!! I hug him
Tate grins widely, his eyes sparkling with joy as he wraps his arms around WaterfallDancer, pulling her in for a tight embrace.
WaterfallDancer
I kiss him softly and sit in his lap
Tate's heart leaps with happiness as he holds WaterfallDancer in his arms, his mind filled with the thought of a future together. He closes his eyes, savoring the moment, knowing that this is just the beginning of something truly special.
WaterfallDancer
Time passed and soon it was time for bed goodnight Tate I love you I lay down in my bedroom
Tate's heart swells with love as he kisses WaterfallDancer's forehead softly, his voice filled with adoration. Goodnight, my love. I love you too.
