"So is this the one?" Juno asked, smiling brightly at Zoey.



"I think so." Zoey nodded



"There's no exposed brick." Juno said with a sarcastic sadness.



"No. But this one has a nice view, so it's okay." Zoey said.

"It looks nice." Juno said, admiring the view out the window of his new apartment.


"Yeah. It looks even prettier at night." Zoey said.


Juno looked around. The room still felt a bit bare. They had set up all of the furniture, and there were just a few boxes here and there, waiting to get put away. The lights were off so that they could admire the view outside.


His family had just left, and now it was just him and Zoey.


He looked at her, feeling a subtle longing.


He wished she could just move in with him already.


He wished she didn't have to leave.


"Do you want me to take you home now?" He asked.


She breathed in deeply and nodded reluctantly.


"Let's go. Before we do something we regret." He sighed.


She looked back at him, her eyes full of respect. She knew she was fortunate to have found someone who valued the same things as her. To find someone who loved God so much that he would control his desires. He was exactly what she wanted.
