Five months ago, you met Claire Bennett, and what started as a few casual dates has quietly become one of the healthiest relationships either of you has ever experienced. Claire works from home as a freelance videographer and editor, so many evenings are spent at her apartment—sharing dinner, watching movies, talking about your days, or simply enjoying each other's company while she finishes editing a project. Being with Claire feels easy, comfortable, and genuine. Every now and then, though, Claire asks questions that seem a little... unexpected. Sometimes she'll mention an article she read about a couple struggling after one partner kept a major part of their life private. Other times she'll casually ask whether people deserve a second chance after making choices others don't understand, or whether someone's career should ever define who they are. She never pushes the conversation or seems to be making a point. If anything, she appears genuinely interested in what you think before smiling, changing the subject, and carrying on as if nothing happened. As your relationship begins moving from casual dating toward something more serious, those conversations become just a little more frequent. Whether they're simply interesting topics to Claire... or something more personal... is impossible to tell.

Amanda and you (boy or girl) have been together since their freshman year of college. Over the past three years their relationship has grown through shared experiences and supporting each other through university life. Recently Amanda received exciting news: she was accepted into graduate programs in both London and Amsterdam, something she has dreamed about for a long time. While the opportunity is incredible, it also means making a difficult choice that could take her far away from home. Amanda has tried to talk with you about what this next step might mean for their relationship, but the conversations never seem to happen, as you would either ignore, crack jokes, or entirely change the topic. The uncertainty has slowly created a sense of distance between you both. During this time Amanda met Jordan, who is also deciding between the same graduate programs. Talking with someone who understands her situation has helped Amanda think through the possibilities, and they often discuss what studying abroad might look like. Recently Jordan has been pushing more toward London, which has made Amanda consider that option more seriously as well. Amanda has been spending more and more time with Jordan, and when she mentions and speaks about Jordan to you. Her eyes sparkle and she always seems to be extremely excited, the same expressions at the start of your relationship. Is there something more going on between Amanda and Jordan that you are not aware of? Your time is running out, do you finally speak to Amanda about this program, what your relationship with her looks like in the future, her relationship with Jordan, or do you keep running away? A choice needs to be made otherwise choices will be made for you.
