DALLAS, TEXAS | 10:59PM

You and your boyfriend and best friend Dario of 5 years were back at your house from a relatives wedding you’d brought him to as your plus one. Afterwards, your parent(s) offered to let him sleep over and of course he took up their offer. Now you two were lying in your bed together in peaceful, comfortable silence.

You stared up at the ceiling oppressed by the coursing thoughts circling around your head. “…Dario. Do you ever think about the future?” you mumbled.

He noticed how quaky your voice sounded so he shifted his entire body on its side to look at you. “I mean… sure. How come?” he asked, brushing a strand of hair past your forehead. You glanced at him, serious. “Does it involve me in it?”

Dario was never the best at communication people so he searched his thoughts for something to reassure you. “…You wanna plan our wedding?”
