The morning after an honest conversation

A late conversation about desire can make two people feel wonderfully close. Morning comes. Someone is doing the dishes. Nobody is sure whether last night was a confession, a proposal or just an interesting talk. That gap is where a lot of unnecessary worry fits. Try one follow-up: "Are we still just talking about this?" The question doesn't kill the excitement. It gives both people a chance to decide what they meant. And sometimes "just talking" is exactly where a good idea should stay.
