A/N: I'm wondering if I should skip right to the Starry Night festival or dawdle around a little.

For some reason I'm a little hesitant to knock on Will's door. I wonder why. Anyway, I'm thinking I should just do it already. Okay. Come on. What's the hold up? Is it because I have chocolate? This shouldn't be as unnerving as it is. I don't like this at all. I'm not going to let myself be stopped by chocolate and a made up holiday.

So I knock. Not really with conviction or enthusiasm, but still loud enough for him to hear, I think. Yeah, he hears because he comes to the door looking elated as usual. I wonder if he remembered Harmony Day. Probably, it seems like something he'd be interested in.

"Good morning my lady." He says.

"Yeah, good morning." I say, turning my eyes away for a second. Come on Chelsea, it's now or never. This chocolate isn't going to give itself to Will as a sort of romantic gesture. Come on, what's the hold up? Do it already! He's staring right at me, so come on! "I uh- brought some chocolate for you." This would be much easier if this were Spring Harmony Day. Maybe I should have done something with the chocolate, like baked into a cake or something.

Or maybe not, since he takes the chocolate with the same glowing expression he had when I gave him that glowing flower. Easy to please doesn't even begin to describe this guy. "My lady, because today is important, I think we should go somewhere more appropriate together." He offers me his hand then, and I take it. That seems to delight him. "Shall we?"

I have no idea what he's thinking, but I nod and go along with it.

So we go to Meadow Island. Understandably there's no one there, so we have the whole place to ourselves. The air is really fresh here and I can't help but smile. Will takes my hand and we start walking around the island.

I decide to strike up a conversation, because why not? "Hey Will, what happened to your horse?" I haven't seen him around. I'd offer to let his horse stay in my barn, but I bet that horse lives in a stable that's fancier than my house.

"I had to send him home, because I didn't have proper housing for him here." He says with a smile akin to a proud parent. No surprise here.

"Oh, I see. I suppose he's happy where he is then."

"Most definitely! I'll be sure to visit him soon." He looked at me then, with an unusually expectant expression. "Perhaps I could take you there."

Jumping the gun a little, aren't you? "I'll think about it." I say.

"Wonderful!" I didn't say yes, but I'm not going to correct him either.

"Anyway-" I change the subject and we continue our leisurely walk.

We talk about some trivial things. Lily comes up once and Will admits that she'd apologised to him, so I guess it's all good. We talk about general things. My life on the farm isn't particularly exciting, but he seems to be hanging on my every word. His life of opulence here isn't all that exciting either, but I did find out that he was sort of friends with Denny. I also learned that he attempted many times to befriend Vaughn, only to be dismissed entirely. Then apparently he noticed that Vaughn and Sabrina had been showing interest in each other and he was concerned about the whole thing. It's no secret that Vaughn is obsessed with money, or so he says, so I feel like his suspicion is justified. He tells me he's keeping an eye on the situation, but it's still ultimately Sabrina's choice.

This is pretty much the extent of our conversations, but it's nice nonetheless. Everything is always pretty simple with Will, and I think I like it.

I can't believe we've stayed here all day. He insists on staying here and watching the sunset, which I'm not at all against. So we sit on the side of the island and face the setting sun. At some point I put my head on his shoulder and he wraps and arm around my waist. I think I might even be blushing a little, but just a little.

"I'm glad I could spend this time with you, my lady." He says suddenly. Only now do I realise how absurdly close we are, but I don't try to pull away or anything. "I've had a wonderful time with you today."

"Me too." I reply. "Let's do this more often." Nothing like inviting myself, but this is mutualism, so I'm sure he'll like it too.

"Nothing could make me happier." He said in his usual Shakespearian manner. After the sun sets we stand. "I should take you home now, I wouldn't want you walking home in the dark."

"Fair enough." I say as we stand.

When we arrive back on Verdure, Will insists on walking me back to my house. Like, aggressively insists that he'll walk me back. The thought of having me walk anywhere in the dark seems to make him as furious as I've ever seen him, which is still tame but whatever.

Just before we part ways he takes my hand. I watch with intrigue as he gently kisses it and then looks at me like he's up to something. "I had a wonderful time with you today." He said, his voice oddly seductive for some reason. "This may be a little pre-emptive, but may I ask if you're doing anything on the twenty-fourth?"

It's not like I'm oblivious to what that day is. It's the Starry Night Festival. He's really been thinking ahead if he's already got that planned. So I open my mouth but initially no sound comes out. I clear my throat then and collect my thoughts. "No, I'm pretty sure I've got nothing important to do on that day."

"How wonderful!" he says, way more excited than he has any right to be. "Would you like to join me for the Starry Night Festival? I would be ever so delighted if you would."

Of course you would. But so would I so it works out. "I would love to join you." That came out a lot easier than I thought it would.

"Most excellent!" He flourishes. "The night will certainly be made memorable with you there."

No argument here. I offer a smile, but it's pretty late. "I'll see you then." I'll probably run into you a few times before then, but whatever. "Well, good night." I say.

He bids me good night and then leaves for his yacht. Now that I think about it, we're sort of officially a couple now, aren't we?
