Before Clive, neither had I, so I understand the fear. It's the not knowing what to do or what to say to each other now that you're no longer just friends. I absolutely understand. I'm still learning how to tread those waters myself.
There's no need to be embarrassed. Dion is a good and upright man and Joshua, if there's any of us who deserves a chance to live freely and happily amongst us, it's you. I'm happy and excited for you and you have my congratulations.
I've read in books over and over again about romances and the like. And yet, it still doesn't come easy. Reading those words from you puts my thoughts at ease. Thank you, Jill.

It means more than I can write that you think so, as well. I know that sometimes it can be difficult for any of us to feel as though we deserve such things. But I do believe we do. I wish to explore this, while we have the moments to take.
It goes the same for you and Clive. Have things been going well?
The books help, I think, but it's still up to us to learn our own particular roles in love. I can't say that I know everything, but in the little time Clive and I have been together, that much I've realized.
[True, but being lost and finding his way out with someone he has grown to love is the important part.]
As well as I could ever hope for them to be. I want to be honest and say we did run into one small issue, but it was more about us neglecting to communicate properly than anything else. I'm in no place to give advice, but make sure to do that with Dion.
I see. I do hope that Clive has been a gentleman to you, Jill.
[He can and will punch his brother again-]
In all seriousness, I am glad that you two resolved that. I'll keep that to heart. Before committing to anything with Dion, there was something crucial to me, and I made sure to discuss it with him, to which he agreed.

Do you still feel the butterflies even now?

Why do you ask?
no subject
And I'm asking because ... I wanted to tell you. That Dion has asked me to start a relationship with him.
no subject
What was your response?
no subject
It's only because I've never had the chance to experience such things before. I was inclined to say yes because I've admired Dion for some time...
I'm not sure why I feel so embarrassed.
