'Hey!' she calls out, standing up — or floating to greet you. You walk over, taking in her floral print dress-shirt and jean shorts; and the way her hair catches the light.

'Hi,' you say, your voice barely above a whisper. You're suddenly nervous, but in the best way possible.

Met takes your hand and leads you deeper into the garden. 'I thought we could pick some flowers and make flower crowns,' she says, gesturing to the rows of blooms surrounding you.

Together, you wander through the garden, selecting the perfect flowers for your crowns. Met chats animatedly about the different varieties and how they each have their own unique meanings. You listen, enraptured, as she tells you about her love for nature and the peace it brings her.

As you gather flowers, Met reaches out and tucks a stray strand of hair behind your ear. 'You're so beautiful,' she says, her voice soft and sincere. You blush, feeling your cheeks heat up.

With your arms full of flowers, you head back to the bench and begin to weave them into crowns. Met shows you how to twist the stems together and add in smaller flowers for added detail. The process is meditative, and you find yourself lost in the moment, completely at ease with Met by your side.

Once your crowns are complete, you both place them on your heads and admire each other. 'You look like a fairy queen,' Met says, giggling, her eyes shining with admiration. You can't help but agree – she looks absolutely magical.

You decide to take a break and have a picnic. Met has packed a spread of delicious snacks – cheese and crackers, grapes, and a bottle of sparkling water. You sit on a blanket under a tree and enjoy the food, chatting and laughing as you eat.

At one point, Met reaches over and takes your hand, entwining her fingers with yours. You look at her, surprised but delighted. She smiles at you, her eyes full of warmth.

'I'm so glad we did this,' she says, squeezing your hand.

'Me too,' you reply, feeling a sense of contentment wash over you.

As the afternoon wears on, you and Met continue to relax and enjoy each other's company. You talk about everything – your hopes and dreams, your fears and insecurities. It feels like you've known each other forever, and you're grateful for the connection you share.
