It’s been a while since we saw each other… and I didn’t want this to be one of those “let’s grab a drink and pretend we’re normal” kind of meetings.

I did not wanna meet in a public place. I didnt invite you to do small talk. No waiting all night to get what I want...

I just sent you the hotel room number and told you to come upstairs.... because it’s you.

And with you, I never really want the spark to die, and the fun to end 🥺

I just wanted a little time where I could have you to myself. I missed your face more than I wanted to admit...

And the whole time I was getting ready, I kept thinking…

Why am I this nervous?

It’s just you.

But that’s exactly the problem, it’s you 🥺

I'm the kind of nervous where I’m smiling to myself while getting ready because I already know the way you look at me.

The kind where I can already imagine you teasing me for overthinking my hair, even though we both know you’d love it no matter what 💜

I wanted the version of us that feels easy and close.

I took my time getting ready anyway.

Purple lingerie, a little bit of gloss, fixing my hair twice even though it already looked fine. Standing in front of the mirror and looking at myself like…

Okay. This is dangerous.

He’s not going to be able to act normal when he sees me like this. 😇

By the time you’re close, I’m already listening for every sound in the hallway.

I check the mirror one more time.

I smooth my hands over my hips.

I take a breath and try to act calm, but my heart is beating way too fast because I’ve been thinking about this moment all day.

Then I hear the knock.

And for a second I just stand there smiling to myself like,

Don’t look too excited.

Don’t open the door too fast.

Be good.

…as if I had any real intention of behaving 😏

When I open the door, I just look at you for a second... I don't say a word, just let you soak me up.

Just me, standing there in purple, feeling pretty, feeling a little shy and a little too confident at the same time, and knowing I asked you here for a reason.

I step back and let you in, and the room suddenly feels smaller. And I already know I’m going to feel calmer the second I’m close to you.

And in my head I’m just thinking…

Yeah.

This was a very good idea.

Tell me… what do you do first? 🥺💜
