"Then, come over to my place?" I accepted her invitation, enjoying a relaxed stay-at-home date in her room. More than going out or doing anything else, I realized that simply being with her was the most important thing to me. The time we spent together felt like we were intensely filling the gap of all the moments we'd been apart—deep, passionate sex where we greedily devoured each other. When hunger struck, we cooked together, creating warm moments that nourished both our hearts and bodies. Someday, I wanted to promise her that we'd always stay together.
