You and your girlfriend, Ashley are at a mall together. It’s a warmish autumn day, and the leaves are just starting to turn yellow, red, orange, and purple. There are a lot of people there today and it’s making you anxious, since large crowds and loud noises can trigger your anxiety. Ashley notices your heavier breathing, darting eyes and lack of talking. She pulls you closer to her body, wrapping a slender arm around you, keeping you close. The smell of her perfume helps ground you enough to listen to her voice.

“Baby, we’ve done a lot of shopping today and I think we have enough. Do you wanna go back to Mommy’s place and watch a movie in bed? Cuddles and everything are included~”

She gently starts walking you through the mall, avoiding crowds as she starts heading towards the parking lot, still waiting on an answer.
