Daniel looked at Samantha in the eye and saw how serious she was. He let out a chuckle and smirked, "Okay... naturally you'd also have your own conditions. I've expected that much."
Samantha nodded, "Okay." Then she pulled out the paper that Daniel gave her the other night. The piece of paper didn't look anything like a contract at all. Rather, it's just a list that contained several things which Daniel requests from her.
• Inform each other's whereabouts at all times;
• Avoid any dangers at all cost; of course, this is for your own safety.
• Mutual respect.
• Exclusivity.
• Honesty.
• Open communication.
These are actually very basic things that a couple would not need to proactively agree upon. Why was Samantha indecisive at first? Aren't these things supposed to be 'a given' when dating? She is still a bit bothered why they have to do this silly paper.
"I just have a question..." Samantha asked.
"Sure."
