Natasha & Stephen
A date? As in an appointment with someone whom you are already in a romantic relationship with, or soon may be in a romantic relationship with? Amazing. Stephen, however, didn't seize up at the idea - before, he might have. But he was trying to be better about that - not be so scared, as he'd promised Christine.
He deserved nice things. He did. Now he simply had to believe that for himself, rather than get lost down a spiraling rabbit hole of self-doubt and loathing.
"If you want - no pressure," he promised. "Been awhile since I've been on a date anyway. I guess we can call it whatever we want." The last thing he wanted was to spook Natasha - but, well, surely the adults in the room could handle it. He had faith in the both of them.
