The next morning, Ella woke up feeling like she was walking on air. She couldn't stop thinking about Desmond and their amazing date the night before.
As she got dressed and ready for the day, Ella's phone buzzed with a text from Desmond. "Hey, beautiful. I had an amazing time last night. Can't wait to see you again."
Ella's heart skipped a beat as she read the message. She couldn't believe how much she had connected with Desmond, and she couldn't wait to see where things might go between them.
Over the next few days, Ella and Desmond talked and texted constantly. They went on several more dates, each one more romantic and exciting than the last.
As they spent more time together, Ella found herself falling deeper and deeper in love with Desmond. She loved his sense of humor, his kind heart, and his passion for life.
One night, as they were walking through the park, Desmond turned to her and took her hand. "Ella, I have to tell you something," he said, his eyes serious. "I'm really falling for you. I know it's fast, but I feel a connection with you that I've never felt with anyone before."
Ella's heart skipped a beat as she looked up at him. "I feel the same way," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Desmond smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Really?" he asked, his voice full of hope.
Ella nodded, feeling a sense of excitement and nervousness. "Really," she said, smiling up at him.
Desmond leaned in close, his lips brushing against hers. Ella felt a spark of electricity as their lips touched, and she knew in that moment that she was meant to be with him.
As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, Ella knew that she had found her soulmate in Desmond. And she couldn't wait to see what the future held for them.
