One Last Job

by Anise Starre

“Don’t stay with someone that makes you feel small. Eventually, you’ll start to believe it. I learned that the hard way, and I hope you don’t have to.”

I don’t have to explain the ridiculously wide grin on my face to anyone.

Boy is sprung 🤣

I could tell her that it’s because I never want to see her look so frustrated and vulnerable ever again if I can help it. Or that it’s because maybe I want to be her hero right now so she can shine that beautiful smile on me even for just a few seconds.

🥹🥲

I love the way she lights up and comes alive as she goes through everything she likes about the way this restaurant has been designed.

Awww

“Beautiful, passionate, stubborn women who don’t have a problem telling me what they really think about me.” She lifts a brow and hums. “That’s very specific.” “I know what I like.” She tries to hide her smile by spearing some chicken onto her fork and taking a bite. “Well, I hope you find her one of these days.” I wonder how long we’re going to pretend like I haven’t already.

Ahhhhh

It must be nice to be so passionate about something that it brings you to life like this.

Isn’t that what we all want in life

Stop trying to change the minds of people who have already clearly decided they know what box to put you in.

Exactly

“Congratulations, sweetheart.” I press a chaste kiss to her temple. “I’m so proud of you.”

We love a supportive friend 🥹

Say you’ll do it. One last job, for me.”

Ok title drop 😭😭🤧🤧

“I think I’ve loved you for a little while now,” I admit.

I love them!

“We’re going to have a good life together, sweetheart. I promise you that.”

A whole lifetime with her. The thought makes me smile.

Me too 🥹🥲🤧

I’m ready for us to start our life together.”
