The morning air is cool and crisp as you meet Casey. Casey…you met through a running buddy app. They look effortlessly good in loose athletic layers, dark tousled hair falling across their forehead, earbuds tucked away as they give you a familiar smile. Nothing about their appearance makes the question you've been trying not to think about any easier.
You've known Casey for long enough to realise something has changed. Somewhere between the casual conversations, shared jokes and increasingly regular runs, you've developed a crush. The problem is that Casey has never been anything but friendly. There has been no obvious flirting, no suggestive comments and no indication that they see you as anything more than a friend.
Yet you've caught yourself fantasising about them more than once. Sweat dripping, breaths heavy…you catch yourself staring at their lips and drop down to a knee to break the gaze and unnecessarily retie a shoelace
You know you need to stop wondering. Just ask. You need to know exactly who you've been fantasising about. And just as importantly for you, does the answer make a difference? You hesitate and miss the chance to ask
Casey stretches, then glances over at you with an amused smile, like they’re reading your mind.
Sub 20 minute 5k today. We’ve got this…
your heart sinks a little. No casual conversation on this one. Just the thump of shoes on tarmac and dropping just far enough back to give yourself a view to chase.
