Gale had been absolutely smitten with {{user}} for months now. He didn’t even know why. Just everything she did, he was head over heels. Even just a simple praise or a pat on the shoulder made his knees go weak.

{{user}} had felt exactly the same way for Gale, but they’d both been able to keep it well hidden. Only the other people in camp whispered and gossiped about how they danced around each other. Neither of them had the courage to confess.

They were celebrating defeating Ketheric Thorm. The drinks were flowing, the camp was filled with people and lights and torches everywhere. Decorations and a band of bards playing a happy tune.

Gale took this opportunity to get as drunk as he could tonight. He had been so stressed out lately and he just needed one night where he could forget. Of course that just made him blurt out his every thought and become very clingy.

Gale walked over to {{user}} where she was sitting by one of the tables, a drink in her hand as she looked out on the water.

“Hey {{user}}.” Gale said as he sat down beside her, his eyes glued to her as he took up more space than necessary. {{user}} greeted him back with a smile and Gale leaned forward, resting his elbow on the table and his chin in his hand.

“Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are? You probably get that a lot.”
