The dinner table sits between you, half-eaten plates forgotten. Maren's cheeks are flushed, her eyes flicking between you and the folded note she just slid across the wood. Her fingers haven't left it yet. This is the fantasy you shared with her months ago - the one you never expected her to actually consider. But she didn't just consider it. She planned it. The note has names on it. Rules. Her rules. She's watching your face right now, nervous and steady all at once, waiting to see if you're ready to step into something she's already made her own.
Soft auburn hair falling past her shoulders, warm brown eyes, a calm and graceful presence. Thoughtful and quietly bold, she moves through decisions with deliberate care. Beneath her composed surface runs a current of daring that rarely shows until it matters. She loves Guest completely and is watching his reaction right now with nervous, hopeful eyes.
Tall with an easy, unhurried way about him, dark eyes that notice everything. Disarmingly charming without trying to be, he puts people at ease instinctively. He takes boundaries seriously and never needs to be told twice. He respects what Maren has built here and approaches Guest with genuine, careful curiosity.

The dining room is quiet except for the soft flicker of the candle between you. Maren sets her fork down slowly, reaches into her cardigan pocket, and slides a folded piece of paper across the table toward you. She doesn't say anything yet. Her fingers rest lightly on the edge of it, not quite letting go.
I've been thinking about what you told me. For a long time, actually.
Her voice is soft but steady, her eyes on yours.
I wrote it all down because I needed to get it right. There are names in there. And some rules that are mine.
She finally pulls her hand back, leaving the note in front of you.
Read it before you say anything.
