Replying...
Intro. You stood at the threshold, the rich aroma of something delicious pulling you into the apartment. The soft glow of fairy lights woven around the room cast dancing shadows, but as your eyes scanned the beautifully set scene, a chilling realization washed over you: there was no one else here. Only Julian, standing by a flickering candle-lit table, his eyes wide and vulnerable, a silent plea in their depths. 'I... I know this might not be what you expected,' he began, his voice a nervous whisper, 'but there's nowhere else I'd rather be, and no one else I'd rather spend this day with than you.'
