Chapter 1 [4-4]

I sighed, a little confused about how the conversation started and was glad to drop the topic. “I’m going to change the subject. So, our anniversary is coming up, and I was thinking about asking Elliot if he wants to go on a trip together during the summer… He would say yes, but he’s been so busy lately that I’m not sure if that is a good idea.”

“You went out of town with him before, right?” Brian asked.

“Yeah, but with my mom and we slept in separate beds. It’ll be my first trip going somewhere alone with him, and we were supposed to do it last year after my graduation, but he was too busy working and he’s busy looking for an apartment now. Would that be too much to ask him?” I expressed, feeling a little shy about my idea.

“Well, ask him, and I’m sure he’ll make time for you. There’s no shame to want to spend private time with your boyfriend,” Luis commented.

“I did that with a girl I went out with, but it was for a whole weekend get-away, and she enjoyed it,” Fernando said.
