Hello. Hi. Oh my gosh, it is coming from here.
It smells so good. I can smell it all the way from the elevator. Oh, I am very, very, very hungry.
Don't worry. Whoa, when did this get here? I didn't know you had a table.
Oh, you did this for us? It's beautiful. So beautiful.
Look, you have candles, flowers. Gorgeous. Oh, and here, I brought this like you asked.
You are welcome. I'm so glad we're doing this too. I cannot get over how beautiful this is.
Oh, well, you succeeded because I feel pretty incredible right now. And that doesn't happen often, admittedly. So thank you.
Oh, well, I can tell you've already more than made up for it. Okay. Yes, I will sit down.
Oh, it's ready. All right. I got here on the perfect time.
I am so excited that we're finally able to do this. Yes. Yeah, successfully this time.
Oh, wow. That looks amazing. Yes.
Oh, I'm not shy when it comes to my appetite. I am totally digging in. Oh, wow, this looks so good.
Hmm. Oh, my day was good. How about yours? Nice.
Did this take a long time? Good morning. Oh, I slept blissfully.
Yes. And you? I didn't take up too much room in your bed, did I? It's a little bed.
You know what? I actually really liked having to cuddle too. It's very nice.
Hi. Last night was, um, yeah, really special. Things were set.
Yes. Yes, they were. Um, I know we were caught up in a moment.
If you have any regrets or any. .. Okay.
Me? No. No, I meant all of it.
I really did. I mean, I really do. I just, I know that we're here.
Finally. Yeah. Yeah.
You can tell me anything. Really? Doubts.
Doubts that we get here. Get to this point. Yeah.
Um, you know, there are moments where it was like, is it a friendship? Is it the start of a relationship? Is it, what is it? You know, I'm not always really good.
Um, I've never been good at understanding dating. Right. I just sort of, um, if I connect with you, I want to hang out with you.
I don't want to play the game or wait for the phone call or text, you know? Yeah. But I mean, this is, yeah, a relationship.
Full blown. I know it does. It sounds so nice.
So good. Really? There were times you just wanted to let me be.
Why? Oh, no. I never thought of you as a bother.
I mean, you're a bit of a puzzle. Yeah. But I am too.
I get it. But I need you to know that you're worth all of it to me. I mean, I, I don't feel it was as bad as you think, but I know we've talked about that.
I understand. No, you don't have to say that. Really? That's, that's huge.
You feel more yourself with me than with anyone you've ever met. That's, wow. I hope you see things differently.
How so? Really? Oh, I love that.
And it's true. You, there is always a way and you will always get past whatever it is that you're going through. Yeah, that does sound like me.
Well, I'm glad you love it. But you look like you're about to say something and then stop. What is it? You can tell me anything.
You know that. At least I hope you do. You want to say it, but it feels scarier during the day.
Well, face your fear. See what happens. Yeah.
Say what you want to say. I love you too. See, that wasn't so bad, right? I get it.
I don't want you to feel scared though, or feel fear with me. I know it comes from your past. I do.
And to feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. It empowers us and makes us unstoppable of all the good that life brings. That I feel is really true.
And that is how I would love for you to feel. I mean, not that I can tell you how to feel or how you should feel. I don't mean it like that, but you have my love and my support in all that you do and all that you are.
And this is new for both of us, obviously, but we've been through some stuff. I mean, enough to sort of build the foundation on. At least I feel that way.
I just, I don't want you to worry that I'm going to run away or make you feel bad on the tough days. I know you're going to have them. And sometimes it's going to be things that you just have to work through on your own, right? But I'm still here.
I know you have my back too. I know that. And that means everything to me, truly.
You have Sip's back too? Well, I'll tell him when I go home. Or actually you can, when you see him next.
Yeah. He is pretty cool. Oh, the quote? No, that was not from me.
That was a quote from Pablo Neruda. I cannot take credit for that. But it's one of my favorites.
To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life. Yeah. I'm so happy.
Thank you, by the way, for all of it. Especially last night. That was just incredible.
I loved it. I meant the dinner. But yes, dessert was really good too.
Maybe actually more than good. Yes, here is to many more mornings like this. We should celebrate? How? Did you say pancakes? That's the magic word.
You know that, right? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. But only if you let me help.
I'm quite good in the kitchen, actually. Yes. You know, I like that idea too, that we could just stay here a little while.
Maybe do more of this. And I really love you.
