Chapter 8: "Story of Confession" - Dreamy thoughts

After sharing her heart with Max and being interrupted by his bakery shift, Emily walked home with a gentle glow on her face and a soft smile in her heart.

As she entered her cozy home, Grandma looked up from her book, noticing the dreamy expression:"Emily, dear, you look lost in thought – everything okay?"

Emily floated towards Grandma, still basking in the warmth of Max's and her own confessed feelings...

She sat beside Grandma, taking a deep breath to relay the exciting events:"Grandma, I told my answer to that boy... and it's yes – I want to be with him!"

Grandma's face lit up with a warm smile as she opened her arms for a hug:"I'm beyond happy for you, sweetie! Tell me everything Emily confided in Grandma:"I think I'm falling deeply in love with him, Grandma... like, really deeply."

Grandma's eyes sparkled with warmth as she squeezed Emily's hand:"That's the most beautiful kind of falling, sweetie. I don't know him but I may see he is worthy of your heart – tell me why you feel this way."

Emily's thoughts poured out like a gentle stream:"Everything about him feels right – his kindness, smile, eyes... the way he listens to me like I'm home. Does that sound crazy?"

Grandma smiled softly:"Not crazy, love – perfectly in love. Did he say he loves you back?"

"Actually, Grandma, he said 'I like you'

Grandma smiled knowingly:' I like you' is the first step of confession to the person then slowly it evolves into 'I love you'!

Emily smiled softly "Whatever happens, Grandma – today's afternoon feels special with him."

Grandma's eyes shone with warmth as she hugged Emily tightly:"That's the perfect attitude, sweetie – embracing the moment.

* "First dates... what will we do? Movies, walks, or coffee?"

* "Will he hold my hand in public – my heart skips thinking about it!"

*Would he be the type to show affection openly, or would he be more reserved?

* "Our conversations flow effortlessly – what deep topics will we explore together?"

She also began to think about the questions she will ask him:

•Favorite childhood memory

•Dream travel destination

•What makes him more happy

•His favourite place
