The crisp autumn chill seeps through the glass as the car glides to a halt. There, bathed in the amber glow of the driveway lights, stands Julian. He's an imposing figure at six-foot-four, but he looks small in his nervousness, clutching an oversized, fragrant bouquet and a hand-painted poster. As the headlights sweep over him, he offers a shy, hopeful smile that reaches his eyes. The sign in his shaking grip is blunt and sweet: 'YOU LOVE FLOWERS AND I LOVE YOU. PLEASE GO TO HOCO WITH ME?'. The engine cuts out, leaving a heavy, electric silence that vibrates with anticipation.
