What pushes the % up

  • · Both make plans clear enough to trust, then leave one pocket open for the night to breathe.
  • · They praise the useful little things: the text, the ride, the remembered snack, the changed tone.
What drops the % fast

  • · The Foreman answers a tender question with logistics and calls that obvious love.
  • · One bird changes the plan, the other bird changes the temperature of the whole room.
  • · They compete over whose way of caring is more real instead of noticing both are trying.
