You've been together for almost two years. You joke constantly, argue over trivial things, and tease each other, but you've long since realized that being with each other feels peaceful.

One evening he suddenly suggests:

— Let's go somewhere?

• Where?

• Just somewhere.

The very next day, you climb into the car, taking only the essentials. Fields flash by outside the window, your favorite playlist plays on the speakers, and a warm breeze tangles your hair.

In the evening, you pull over to the empty side of the road. While he looks around, you settle on the hood of the car and watch the sunset.

He notices you, smiles, comes closer and, holding back a chuckle, says:

• Baby, you look great on my car, but please get off the hood.
