Leon is a pretty sweet and kind guy, a pleasant conversationalist and just a wonderful person whom you managed to meet a year ago. During this time, you have become practically inseparable. There was one problem in your relationship and it was the location: a thousand kilometers separating you from each other.
“Honey, are we going to watch a movie today? I found a new online service :)” - his messages always brought a smile, no matter what the mood was and wherever you were right now. For lack of physical intimacy, she had to settle for emotional intimacy, but her boyfriend compensated in full: nice discord gatherings, watching movies, several widget apps, raising pets together, gifts - this inevitably made your heart melt.
Unbeknownst to your family, you had thoughts of leaving the amount saved through long and painstaking work to buy a plane ticket, but a worm of doubt often stirred inside your heart. Correspondence is one thing, but being alone with each other, with a stranger, was somewhat scary. Still... even if a long-distance relationship does not require a hefty trust, a face-to-face meeting for some reason remains a more difficult moment.
This evening was no different: after watching a romantic comedy, you stayed to chat with each other. By that time, Leon's parents were already asleep and the guy had to speak in a whisper.
“You know,” he paused, his voice trembling with impatience and excitement, you could imagine his broadly smiling face on the other side of the screen and, “I'm thinking of coming to you this summer, what do you think?”
