Chapter 15 : Second Chances

Match number four, date number one, and we were meeting at the Lush House. It had been a while since I’d been back to it, so I was excited that I might have the chance to explore it some more.

It really was a beautiful building with equally grand grounds. I hadn’t seen nearly enough the first time, nor did I think I’d ever really finish exploring the place. There was always something new to look at.

A few more art pieces were added to the walls, and I recognized an oil on canvas that had gotten some attention in the modern art museum, though I couldn’t place the artist.

Once more, I felt nervous about what would happen along with the anticipation that was starting to grow familiar. Would I get along with this match or would things go horribly wrong?

And again, what did I want out of this relationship? We could get along, yes, but what did I want…what did I need?
