A Memorable First Date

They spent the day antiquing and shopping for furniture—activities they both loved—but by evening it became clear that this wasn’t just friendship; it was something far more significant.

Jeremiah recalled sitting in a brown leather chair during their conversation when he suddenly realized he felt completely safe around Nate—a feeling he hadn’t anticipated but couldn’t ignore.
