Inside the car, Mia pressed her forehead against the cool window, staring at the passing scenery. She was doing her best to tune out James’s relentless chatter, which filled the confined space like an endless loop of a cheesy love song.

James had a knack for getting under her skin, and tonight was no exception. Every time he was around, it felt like his sole purpose was to drive her up the wall. And right now, his words were doing exactly that.

“Baby, do you know what I realized while I was away these past two months? A single second without you feels like a thousand years of longing,” he said dramatically.

Mia rolled her eyes but didn’t reply.

“Baby, when I’m apart from you, all I do is think about you. And when I’m with you, all I know is that I love you,” he continued with an exaggerated sigh, glancing at her with hopeful eyes.

Still, silence.

“Baby, the only person in my heart is you. And I know I’m the only person in yours.”

Mia bit back a groan. In my heart? You’re not even on my radar.

“Baby, you’re like my most precious treasure…”

And you, James, are like a treasure I’d happily bury six feet underground, Mia thought, her lips twitching in irritation.

“Baby, why are you ignoring me? Are you upset? Did I do something wrong?” he asked, leaning closer, his -tone dripping with concern. “Baby, why won’t you talk to me?”

Mia sighed deeply. Why, God? Why me?

“Baby-”

“James,” she interrupted, her voice sharp. “I’m not upset. I just need you to stop talking! Can you please do that?”

James blinked, momentarily stunned. “Oh! I thought you were upset because of me. Phew, what a relief!” he said, his grin quickly returning. “Anyway, baby, don’t you think it’s time we went on our first date?”

Mia stared at him, her patience wearing thinner by the second.

“I’ve already planned everything, baby. All you need to do is say ‘yes,‘ and I promise you it’ll be the most amazing date of your life,” he rambled on, clearly undeterred by her silence.

Mia let out another heavy sigh.

His smile faded slightly, and he tilted his head, concern creeping into his voice. “Baby, are you okay? You’ve been sighing a lot. Are you not feeling well? Should I take you to the hospital? Or maybe I should call a doctor for you? Baby-”

“James, STOP!” Mia finally exploded, clutching her head in frustration. “For the love of God, just stop being so annoying!”

Mia shot him a withering glare. Worried? More like the source of all my problems! She resisted the urge to yell again, instead opting for silence, hoping it would save what was left of her sanity.

Seeing the genuine concern on James’s face, Mia felt a flicker of doubt in her heart. She knew he was kind, thoughtful, and someone she cared about. Yet, one lingering question held her back, preventing her from fully stepping toward him.
