After Stuart had finished his spaghetti, Morwenna decided it was time to address the elephant in the room. "Stuart, do you ever feel like you're a bit too unpredictable? We could just talk things out, you know. This push-and-pull routine is wearing me down."

Lowering her voice, Morwenna continued, "If you're upset about that night I drunkenly kissed you, I promise it won't happen again." Suddenly, Stuart stood, leaning over the table towards her, a slight smirk playing at his lips. "I didn't mind."

"What?"

"Morwenna, how about I stop keeping my distance?"
