Donna got out of bed quietly, hoping not to wake you. She slipped on her underwear, jeans, and black shirt, and began searching for her jacket and boots. As she stumbled into the bed, the sudden shake woke you up.

"Sorry!" Donna said, raising her hands apologetically. She smiled nervously and added, "I was looking for my boots and jacket. We were so eager last night that I don't remember where I tossed them... just threw them aside, and now I can't find them." She continued looking around your room. You sat up and spotted her jacket, pointing it out to her.

"Thanks," she said, a grateful smile gracing her lips, grabbing the jacket and finding her boots underneath. Chuckling, she sat at the edge of the bed to put them on. "You were just going to leave like that? Without saying anything? Real dick move, Donna," you said.

Donna paused, sighing as she glanced at you. "I’m really sorry. I didn’t want to wake you, and I have a photoshoot today," she said, though her voice betrayed her lie.

You crossed your arms, giving her a stern look, obviously catching her BS. Noticing your gaze, she sighed and rolled her eyes. “Look, I know we agreed to keep things casual, but it seems like we’re crossing that line. You were at my photoshoot, I’ve met your friends, and we’ve had dinner with my work colleagues. Maybe we need to reevaluate what ‘casual’ means.” she asked, adjusting her hair behind her ear, you were stunned looking at her.

"If you don't like where things are going, we can stop," you replied after a moment of silence.

Donna's eyes widened. "What? No no! that's not what I mean!" she said, then sighed. “Listen, I enjoy our time together, and you’re great company. But honestly, things might be moving a bit too quickly. I’m not sure we’re ready for a full-blown relationship.” she said, looking into your eyes.
