Natasha and Patrick share their first dinner together, a quiet evening filled with warmth and new beginnings.

In this gentle romance series, Episode 4 takes us deeper into Patrick and Natasha’s journey. After days of working together, their connection quietly grows into something more tender. This chapter captures their first dinner together, a night of soft music, warm conversation, and the beginning of true affection.

The Story

After the long meeting sessions, everyone returned to their hotels for rest. But for Patrick, something had shifted—he could no longer ignore the quiet pull he felt toward Natasha. There was something in her calm presence, her thoughtful smile, the way she observed the world with gentle eyes.

That evening, while colleagues said their goodbyes, Patrick gathered his courage.

Patrick: “Natasha… would it be alright if I had your number? Maybe your social contacts too? Just so we can stay in touch outside work.”

Natasha looked at him with a light blush, but her smile was steady.

Natasha: “Of course. I’d like that.”

The exchange was simple, but it carried weight. A small step, yet filled with meaning. Both of them felt it—the beginning of something unspoken.

A Dinner Invitation

Five days passed with quick messages, brief exchanges, and quiet excitement each time the phone lit up. Then Patrick asked:

Patrick: “Would you join me for dinner? Somewhere special… I’d like us to talk without the rush.”

Natasha agreed.

That evening, she arrived in a soft pastel pink dress, carrying a delicate gold clutch. Her hair was neatly styled, her presence glowing in the soft city lights. Patrick waited in a tailored blue-gray suit, light blue shirt, and navy tie. To anyone watching, they looked like a couple celebrating love, though the story was only beginning.

“Natasha in her pastel pink evening dress, ready for an unforgettable night in Singapore.”

“Patrick, ready for an evening date with Natasha, overlooking the glowing skyline of Singapore.” ✨

At the top floor of a luxury hotel, the city stretched beneath them. Lights shimmered like scattered stars. Patrick surprised her with a single white lily, wrapped simply, with a small card tucked inside.

On it, he had written:
“For this special evening—and for every day. May joy always be with you. — Patrick”

Natasha’s heart stirred. She held the lily close, touched not only by the gesture but by the sincerity behind it.

Shared Tastes, Shared Heart

Dinner began. Natasha ordered a light herbal tea—peppermint fruit infusion—while Patrick chose a glass of red wine.

Their meals, almost mirroring each other, spoke of shared values: Natasha with grilled salmon and fresh salad, Patrick with plant-based dishes and a colorful mix of beans and tempeh.

They exchanged quiet glances, noticing the similarities without needing to say a word. Both cared about health, balance, and simplicity. It felt like another invisible thread connecting them.

Natasha (smiling softly): “Seems like we both prefer the lighter path.”
Patrick (with a grin): “Maybe it’s one more reason why we were meant to meet.”

The Music and the Dance

As they talked, the soft notes of a slow song filled the air—Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” Natasha closed her eyes briefly, letting the melody wash over her.

Patrick stood, extended his hand, and bowed slightly.

Patrick: “May I?”

Her heart fluttered. She placed her hand in his, and he guided her onto the floor. Under the warm glow, surrounded by others yet feeling alone in their own world, they danced.

A tender rooftop dance beneath the stars, with the city lights as their backdrop.”

One song followed another: “Take Me to Your Heart” by Michael Learns to Rock, “When You Say Nothing at All” by Ronan Keating, and finally, Taylor Swift’s “Lover.”

For Natasha, time dissolved. For Patrick, the rest of the world disappeared.

Every step was a conversation unspoken. Every glance was a promise not yet voiced.

After the Dance

When the evening ended, neither wanted to part. Yet they knew they must.

Back in their rooms, neither could sleep. Natasha replayed the dance, the laughter, the lily pressed to her chest. Patrick thought of her smile, her voice, the way she had leaned into the rhythm.

They had found common ground—style, habits, dreams—and something more: the spark of real affection.

Days That Followed

The next weeks deepened their bond. Morning walks, shared coffee, messages sent across busy schedules. A growing warmth, simple but steady.

✨ Patrick and Natasha’s morning walk ✨
At a garden café surrounded by trees and fresh greenery, Patrick invited Natasha for hot tea. After grounding themselves in the calm of the morning sunlight, they walked hand in hand through the garden. No words were needed—just the warmth of their touch and the quiet connection of their hearts. 🌿☀️💫

Twenty days later, Patrick, after much thought, asked her the words he had long held inside:

Patrick: “Natasha… would you be my girlfriend? My first, and my only?”

Her answer was a quiet nod, eyes shining.

The story of their hearts had begun.
