THE FIRST DATE
HARPER'S POV: I never believed in love at first sight, but the moment I laid eyes on Duncan, everything changed. From his infectious smile to his charming personality, I was smitten. We quickly became inseparable, spending every moment together and getting to know each other on a deeper level. However, one question always lingered in my mind — does Duncan feel the same way? I was desperate for answers.
After months of courting, Duncan and I were enjoying a quiet picnic in the park when he suddenly turned to me with a severe expression on his face. My heart skipped a beat, and I could feel a mix of excitement and nervousness flood through me. I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. He took a deep breath before looking into my eyes and saying the words I had been waiting to hear. "I know we've been together for some time now, and I just want to tell you I'm in love with you."
I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. Those were the words I had longed to hear, but I never wanted to pressure him into saying anything he wasn't ready to. So, I patiently waited for him to express his feelings in his own time. Duncan told me how much he appreciated me, how he adored spending time with me, and how I brought so much happiness into his life. He said that he couldn't imagine spending a single day without me by his side. Tears of joy rose as I listened to him pour his heart out. It was one of the most genuine and heartfelt confessions I had ever heard.
From that moment on, the dynamic of our relationship changed. Our love and connection had deepened, and I felt my heart swell with love and affection for Duncan. As cheesy as it may sound, it truly felt like a fairytale come true. As we continued our picnic, we talked for hours, reminiscing on our journey as a couple and sharing our hopes and dreams for the future. Duncan's admission of his love for me not only brought us closer but it also taught me a valuable lesson. Love takes time, and when it's genuine, it's worth the wait.
