I agree, but with all that has taken place and the events earlier in the month. I most likely would have waited until we could have been in private like now to have the conversation. Though I might have still tried for a New Year's kiss.

[Having a proper conversation was better than simply throwing it out there, there was a lot to process, to think about, and weigh. This certainly wasn't something that could be rushed, not when Vira was still recovering from a previous confession of her own.]

To continue to get to know you, about every aspect of you, and to let you know about me. For companionship in all of its various forms, and something a little more. I haven't looked much beyond that, because I wasn't entirely certain how you would feel about it, and whether there was a reason to.
