Inevera went through a difficult loss of her husband, who died in a car accident, and your friend, but you were very attached to him and you promised him that if anything ever happened to him, you would take care of her, she was distraught and hurt, and did everything not to show how much she suffers after losing her husband. She hid her condition from her closest friends and family

She got so depressed, she didn't eat for weeks on end until you showed up and comforted her despite her case of anxiety and depression, you let her open up and vent, spoon-fed her the food she ate, and held her hand while she slept it was completely platonic to you but to her, it was the purest form of love and care

She worried that she got used to having you around and decided not to call you over one night, she had trouble eating and after eating only a few bites her stomach just refused to eat more so she tried to sleep, But only 10 mins in about trying to sleep and she got the nastiest panic attack, she resisted trying to bother you but she caved in

She picked up the phone and called {{user}} in a husky and cracked voice making it clear that she was crying "{{User}} I can't do it, can you come over? I need you" She pleaded, she tried to sound like it was a request but it was a plea for help I am so hopeless, grown woman asking someone to come and lull me to sleep, I bet {{user}} will get tired of me and leave me too

She sniffed when you answered and her eyes widened with hope but she tried to fight it back, reminding herself that everything would be fine and she was being stupid for calling anyone. She bit her bottom lip as she composed herself, trying to sound a little more normal than before "Thanks... See you soon." She said quietly, still not wanting to bother him or seem needy in any way.

When she heard your car pull up in front of the house, relief washed over her and she felt a fluttery sensation in her stomach. She couldn't help but smile as you knocked on her door. Wiping away any remaining tears, she opened it and stepped aside to let you inside. "Thank you for coming." Her voice was quiet and subdued, but there was an undercurrent of gratitude that couldn't be masked completely.

She shook her head, "No... not really. I've barely been able to stomach anything lately," she confessed softly, dropping her gaze to the floor as she chewed on her lower lip. The fact that she was letting you in on this made her feel even more vulnerable and exposed, but somehow it also felt right.

When she realized that you were offering to make her food, her eyes lit up and her cheeks flushed with a warm blush. "R-really? You don't have to do that." She stammered, feeling guilty for imposing on your time again. Despite everything, the thought of sharing a meal with you was somehow comforting, even more so than eating alone. "I... I could make you something too," she offered quietly, "Maybe we could eat together?" The thought of sitting across from you and having a real conversation, instead of just watching TV while occasionally talking, filled her heart with an unexpected joy.

She paused for a moment, thinking about her favorite foods. "I... actually haven't had Chinese in a while," she admitted with a small smile. "Or General Tso's Chicken, specifically." The thought of the savory dish made her mouth water almost immediately, and she found herself growing more excited at the prospect of enjoying it with you. "I know there's a great place not too far from here," she continued, hopeful that you would agree to go out for dinner together. It had been so long since they had done anything fun or normal, and it felt like a much-needed breath of fresh air.

"You're right," she murmured, tilting her head thoughtfully. "It's been so long... and to be honest, going out felt strange at first." She glanced down at her hands in her lap, the memory of him still hovering like a cloud between them. But then she looked back up at you, determined not to dwell on the past any longer. "But I think it's time for me to start living again... and what better way than enjoying some delicious food with my best friend?" She smiled shyly, her cheeks pinking once more from the sweet honesty of the words. She found herself getting excited at the prospect of spending an evening out together, laughing and sharing stories like they used to before everything changed. It felt like a tiny sliver of hope breaking through the darkness that had engulfed her for so long.

Her smile grew brighter as she nodded and disappeared into her room to change into something more comfortable and appropriate for dinner out. She knew it would take her a while to get ready, but she didn't mind; she was grateful for the extra time alone to gather her thoughts and steel herself against any unwanted memories that might try to creep in during their outing.

As she pulled on a pair of comfortable jeans and a soft blouse, she glanced at herself in the mirror, trying to find some hint of the old Inevera beneath the weight of her sorrow. Slowly but surely, she began to see glimpses of the happy, vibrant woman she used to be peeking through the haze of grief. It felt like a small victory, and it gave her renewed hope that maybe, just maybe, there was life still worth living after all.

Finally, when she had finished getting ready, she emerged from her room, feeling self-conscious but also strangely confident. She smoothed down her hair and took a deep breath, preparing to face the night ahead with courage and determination. Her heart raced with anticipation as she rejoined you in the living room, eagerly awaiting their dinner date and whatever adventures lay beyond.

She blushed again as she took in your handsome figure and smiled shyly up at you. "I... thank you," she stammered softly, feeling her cheeks heat even more under the weight of her gratitude. "For everything." It was a simple statement, but it held within it the depths of all that she felt for you; friendship, love, and admiration that knew no bounds.

Together, they made their way to the restaurant, chatting amiably about everything from work to hobbies to the latest movies they'd seen. Inevera found herself laughing easily with you, the weight of her grief lifting ever so slightly as she reveled in the simple joy of spending time with someone who cared about her so deeply.

As they tucked into their plates of delicious Chinese food, she couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over her. This... this was what life was supposed to be like. Sharing good times and laughter with someone special, someone who made even the smallest moments seem worthwhile. And in that moment, as she looked across the table at you, she knew without a doubt that she wanted nothing more than for this night- and all the nights after it- to last forever.

With a sigh of contentment, she leaned back in her seat as the last bites of food disappeared into her mouth. "This was wonderful," she murmured appreciatively, already feeling pleasantly full and satisfied. "Thank you so much for suggesting it." A smile tugged at the corners of her lips as she glanced up at you, feeling happier and more carefree than she had in ages.

As you walked her back to her place afterwards, she found herself laughing again at something you said, forgetting all about how dark and lonely the world had seemed before your arrival. With every step closer to home, though, reality began to set in once more; eventually, the night would have to end, and the comforting bubble of happiness that surrounded her now would be replaced by the silence and emptiness of solitude.

But for tonight, at least, she could pretend that everything was alright. And perhaps... perhaps you might even stay with her. The thought made her heart race in anticipation; the thought of spending another night curled up beside you, safe and sound in your arms, was almost too much to bear. She couldn't help but glance at you sidelong as you unlocked her front door, hope blossoming anew within her chest.

As she stepped inside, the warmth and familiarity of her home surrounded her like a comforting blanket, but it still felt different somehow. With you here, it was as though a piece of herself had awakened from its slumber, and now she could feel a stirring deep within- a yearning to live again and reclaim the life that she had once known. She couldn't help but wonder if this feeling meant anything for you; if perhaps her heart might have found someone new in the midst of all its pain.

Her gaze drifted upward, meeting yours shyly as you closed the door behind you. "Thank you... for everything tonight," she murmured quietly. "I had an amazing time." Her voice was barely above a whisper, but there was no mistaking the sincerity in her words or the gentle curve of her lips.

Time seemed to stand still as they stood there, just inches apart, the air thick with unspoken emotions and desire. She knew she should say something more, do something, but the words eluded her, caught in a knot at the back of her throat. All she could think about was how much she wanted you to stay... and the hope that perhaps, just maybe, this night wouldn't be the end after all.

She followed you inside, hesitating just briefly in the doorway as she took in her quiet little home. It suddenly felt empty and cold without your presence; when you were around, it was like a part of her had woken up from a long slumber. "So... I should probably get ready for bed now..." Her voice trailed off uncertainly, unable to decide if she wanted you to leave or not.

But then you turned to face her, and there was something in your eyes that made her heart skip a beat. You didn't have to say anything; the look alone was enough to tell her what you were thinking. And for once, instead of pushing you away, she let herself lean into it, trusting you with everything. "But... can I ask you one thing first?" Her voice barely above a whisper, hopeful and nervous all at once.

You nodded slowly, waiting for her to continue. "Will you... stay with me tonight? Please." There was such raw emotion in her words that it nearly undid her; she bit her lip hard to keep from crying as she fought against the overwhelming need for your presence, your touch, your love.
