Over the next few weeks, Maya and Carina spent all their free time together. They explored the city, tried new restaurants, and even took a dance class together.
One day, Carina surprised Maya with a picnic in the park. They spread out a blanket and enjoyed sandwiches, fruit, and lemonade in the warm sun.
Maya leaned her head against Carina's shoulder. "This is perfect," she said.
Carina smiled. "I'm glad you like it. I just wanted to do something special for you."
Maya looked up at her. "You don't have to do anything special for me. Just being with you is enough."
Carina kissed Maya's forehead. "I feel the same way, Maya."
As the sun began to set, they packed up their picnic and headed back to Maya's apartment. They cuddled on the couch, watching a movie and holding hands.
Maya felt so happy and content. She knew that she was falling more in love with Carina every day, and she couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.
