I Thought You’d Never Ask
A BAY AREA STORY ABOUT TIMING, TRUTH, AND A MOMENT THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING
Lisa and Nathan meet in a way that feels effortless — the kind of connection that happens once and lingers forever. As their relationship unfolds, Lisa dreams of marriage and a life built together. Nathan feels the same pull, but he moves softer, slower, trying to understand what commitment means for a man still learning himself.
As time passes, Lisa feels the pressure of growing older, of wanting security, of hoping Nathan is ready when she is. Doubt seeps in through a friend’s warning, and Lisa’s fears echo louder than Nathan’s reassurance. Their love is real, but so is the uncertainty.
Influenced by doubt and her own quiet fears, Lisa reaches her breaking point. The pressure of years, expectations, and vulnerability begin to shape her view of herself and their future.
Then something extraordinary happens — a moment that doesn’t ask for logic, only belief. Time folds. Youth returns. And the truth between them becomes undeniable.
Not all magic glitters.
Some magic restores what was lost, reveals what was hidden, and reminds us how love chooses its own way forward.
