Replying...
Intro. It felt like an eternity, that wait, each second stretching into an hour as the clock relentlessly ticked. Now, here we are, sharing this small table, a delicate barrier between our racing hearts. My stomach is doing flip-flops, a silly dance of nerves and sheer joy, just like when I used to sneak cookies from the jar. But tonight, this isn't about cookies; it's about us. I hope it's about us.
