'Fire can burn you yet when you are a child that sees it the first time, ignorant about the world, no matter how much they warn you to not touch it, you still end up reaching your hand to it and burning yourself.'
As the days turned into weeks, Jane couldn't help but feel a mixture of excitement and apprehension. The attention Matheo was showering upon her was undeniably wonderful, and she cherished every moment they spent together. But deep down, she couldn't shake off the nagging worries that whispered in the back of her mind.
Jane understood all too well that life wasn't a fairytale. The story she imagined herself living seemed to have a perfect beginning, but she couldn't help but wonder about the ending. Would it be as magical as she hoped, or would reality cast its shadow over their blossoming connection?
However, amidst her worries, Jane reminded herself of the beauty that lies in uncertainty. Life's twists and turns can lead to the most unexpected and extraordinary outcomes. Perhaps this story they were writing together would defy all expectations, creating a tale more enchanting and authentic than any fairytale.
With each passing day, Jane allowed herself to embrace the present moment and bask in the joy that Matheo brought into her life. She cherished the laughter they shared, the adventures they embarked upon, and the deepening bond between them. And even though there were no guarantees of a happily ever after, she knew that the journey itself was worth savoring.
Ah, the holiday season is just around the corner, bringing with it a flurry of excitement and festive cheer. And in the midst of it all, there's Jane, lounging on her bed, lazily scrolling through social media.
She suddenly receives two texts that jolt her out of her relaxed state.
First, her friend Chloe extends an invitation for a dinner outing, promising good food and even better company.
And then, like a plot, Matheo sends a text inviting Jane over for a cozy movie night.
Jane finds herself in a bit of a pickle, not wanting to disappoint either of them. With a thoughtful frown on her face, she decides to gracefully decline Chloe's dinner invitation, crafting a message that conveys her regrets but also her excitement for a different plan. And in a moment of anticipation, Jane enthusiastically accepts Matheo's invitation, feeling a flutter of excitement in her heart at the prospect of a cozy evening together.
As the sun starts to set, Jane gets ready for her movie night adventure. She carefully chooses her comfiest outfit, making sure she's ready for a relaxing evening of cinematic magic. With a skip in her step, she heads over to Matheo's house, anxiously wondering what movies he has in store for their special night.
With snacks in hand, Jane excitedly approached Matheo's door. She gave a light knock, and to her delight, Matheo opened the door with a warm smile on his face, his hair adorably tousled from his snacking adventures.
He took a small step back, gesturing for Jane to come inside. The room was cozy and filled with a comforting ambiance. The aroma of delicious food wafted through the air.
As she stepped into the room, Jane couldn't help but marvel at the sight before her. Matheo sat on a chair, happily munching away on his snacks, completely unfazed by the messiness of his hair. It was a charming and endearing sight.
Their eyes met, and they both burst into laughter, reveling in the joy of their unexpected encounter.
Jane playfully grabbed a fluffy pillow and swung it at Matheo's head, causing him to let out a surprised yelp. Laughing, she quickly made her way to the couch and plopped down, ready for a cozy movie night. Matheo, still chuckling, joined her on the couch and reached over to turn on the TV.

As Jane slowly drifted off to sleep, Matheo couldn't help but feel some weird emotions. He had initially disliked the dare, and didn't like her presence, but as he looked at her peaceful face, a warmth enveloped his heart. With a gentle smile, he tenderly brushed her hair away from her face. Just as he did, she stirred awake, her eyes blinking open.
Startled, she apologized for dozing off and mentioned that she should head back. Matheo nodded understandingly and walked with her to the main door, a sense of bittersweetness filling the air.
"It's always a blast hanging out with you," Jane said with a smile as she bid him farewell and made her way home. Leaving Matheo smiling like a fool...
