NOT SO BERRY

In the middle of a conversation, Astrid hopped in front of Tess and knelt down on one knee. Tess was lost for words, tears already filling her eyes. This was the place her parents had gotten engaged and she already knew that was the reason Astrid had brought her here. 

“This is going to be so cheesy, but I know you enjoy the cheesy stuff so here I go,” Astrid giggled to herself. “You’ve stood by my side for years, always making sure I had a shoulder to lean on when I was going through hard times and making it a little bit easier. I’ve spent years trying to find someone to love me and now that I’ve finally found you, I’m ready to spend the rest of my life with you. So will you do me the incredible honor of letting me love you forever?”

“Yes!” 

// cringe levels: MAXIMUM don’t ever allow me to propose to anyone bc it will be so baddd. but they engaged yay

NOT SO BERRY

A few months after Astrid and Tess’ first date, she invited Tess out to the park they’d gone to together with the kids. She had a plan in mind and felt more nervous than she ever had in her entire life. 

Astrid prayed everything would go just as planned.

// if anyone is confused as to why i keep switching between the names tess and tessa, i got the names a bit mixed up but tess’ name is in fact, tess! oops. 

NOT SO BERRY

After hours of fun, Astrid and Tessa sat down to talk. 

ASTRID: So, did you have enjoy yourself?

TESSA: Yes! It’s the most fun I’ve had in awhile. Thank you so much for taking me out. I really like spending time with you.

Suddenly, Tessa became upset.

ASTRID: Are you okay? Did I do something wrong?

TESSA: No, it’s not that… Leo and Milo are kicking me out and I might have to move back in with my parents. They live all the way in Windenburg, that’s hours away from my brother… and you.

ASTRID: Why don’t you move in with me? I have a spare bedroom!

TESSA: I can’t ask that of you Astrid, I don’t want to burden you. 

ASTRID: Hey, you would never be a burden to me. C’mon, think about it! The kids love you and I really really like you. 

TESSA: I’ll think about it.. thank you so much, Astrid.
