~Alistair's POV~
Alex smiled, looking relieved that we were on the same page. "Then it's settled. A family dinner it is."
I nodded, smiling. "Yes, love. I choose that too… I think it'll be more fun."
"Alright, baby," Alex said. "We'll start making plans for it tomorrow."
Alex shifted on the sofa, pulling me closer until my head rested comfortably against his shoulder.
A quiet urge rose within me… to revisit the past, to return to the moment where everything between us first began.
"You know, Alex," I began slowly, my voice soft against his shoulder, "when I left for school, I never planned on getting into a relationship before going back home."
I let out a quiet breath.
"I didn't even imagine I'd fall in love… let alone fall in love with a man."
I paused, then added gently,
"I'm just being honest with you tonight."
"Okay, love… I'm listening," Alex said softly, his grip tightening slightly as he rested his chin against my hair.
