         。・『Preparations』・。

My relationship with Will is truly a dream come true. He embodies everything a girl could wish for in a boyfriend and a future partner. His gentle nature, kindness, passion, and lovable spirit make every moment with him feel magical, and I can't even begin to describe how incredible his kisses are.

As always, he remains open and attentive to me. "Are you planning to take these home?" he asked, gesturing toward the box brimming with ribbons, buttons, and fabric.

"Absolutely, I need to get ready for Halloween," I replied.

"So, I assume the store will be closed tomorrow?" he inquired.

"Yes, Halloween is just two days away. I still have a few plushies and decorations to create for the store. Once I finish, I can open up on Halloween," I explained while I closed the store windows.

"Would you like me to come over and help with the designs?" he offered.

"Of course! You have a much more creative flair for Halloween than I do," I admitted.

"Don't sell yourself short. You create things that are far better than anything I could think of," he said, planting a sweet peck on my cheek.

Last year around this time, Will came over to assist me with Halloween preparations. Unfortunately, we couldn't spend much quality time together since he was busy that day and I had a store full of customers. We couldn't even plan anything for after work because I was utterly exhausted. To make matters worse, there had been a murder not far from the store. It occurred late at night while most people were asleep, and the body of a child was discovered in the morning, tragically mutilated by a chainsaw.

"I really hope nothing like that happens this year. I want to enjoy Halloween night with you," I said as I unlocked my apartment door.

"You always seem so busy on Halloween, so it would be wonderful to just relax together that night," he replied.

"Anyway, let's dive into this. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can settle down and watch a movie," I suggested.

"Yes, ma'am," he said playfully, wrapping his arms around my waist.
