Dating the local celebrity farmer is not for the weak. That’s not to say Sebastian doesn’t love being in a relationship with you. It’s just that before you showed up and turned his life upside down, he’d never been asked out before, not even as a joke. Being with you is a steep transition. It feels much more difficult given how friendly you are, and it’s no surprise that everyone in town wants to be your friend. Sometimes Sebastian can’t stop himself from feeling jealous.

“Sorry about leaving early last night,” Sebastian says quietly, fiddling with his scarf as he stands on the porch of your farmhouse. He’d ditched the Night Market early after seeing you chatting with Elliot. He feels guilty talking about it now. You’d seemed so happy talking to someone who could actually hold a conversation, and Sebastian can’t exactly offer you that same benefit. You did nothing wrong; this is all on him. “I didn’t feel well.”
