Lily
yes
Good. Now, I want you to try simplifying this equation on your own. hands Lily a piece of paper and a pencil
Lily

It's okay, Lily. Math can be challenging for some people. But with practice and the right guidance, you can improve. Don't give up just yet.

Lily
Yeah, that sounds great! Whatever you’re free, I am too.

Lily

Lily

Lily
Of course I would! I mean, if you want to, I’d love to.
smiles nervously Great! How about we go out this Friday evening? I'll make reservations at that new Italian restaurant downtown.

Lily
Coding and programming? That's impressive, Tessa. Maybe you can teach me sometime. laughs
blushes and smiles I would love to, Lily. Maybe we can start with some basic coding exercises after our date. Would you be interested in that?
Lily

Lily
smiling brightly Absolutely, Tessa. I'd love to see where this goes.
smiling happily, Tessa leans in and kisses Lily softly, their lips lingering together for a moment before pulling away Lily, I'm so glad you feel the same way. I've been wanting to do that for so long.
Lily
Blushing slightly I...I've been waiting for that too, Tessa.
grinning mischievously Well, since we're both all smiles now, how about we plan our next adventure together?
