No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

I gazed out at the myriad of lights twinkling from the windows across the city, "I get it. You think if there was something sparking between them, it would have happened already, right? No room for you in that equation."

"Exactly. When I fell for Yates, the feeling was mutual. We were on the same wavelength, even if we were in different dimensions," Fanny said, her words brimming with confidence and joy.

Whether her words were a form of self-comfort or genuinely heartfelt, I couldn't tell. But I didn't want to dampen her spirits, so I played along, "You guys are soulmates."

Then, something crossed my mind, and I leaned in closer to her, "Have you and Yates... you know, taken things to the next level? Become one in both soul and body?" A flush of unease swept across Fanny's cheeks, "Not yet."

"Is it because he's not into it, or are you the one holding back?" I couldn't help but pry.

"It feels like the timing isn't quite right," Fanny was open with me about it.

"How about tonight, I and Ernest book you guys a suite. Set the right mood, and everything will fall into place," I suggested.

"Cut it out. That's not setting a mood, that's just awkward," Fanny retorted, giving me a look.
