The moment I knew: when he said I love you, it took me days to build up the nerve to respond
Briefly

The article narrates the burgeoning relationship between Lachlan Dearing and Angelina Thomson, who initially connected as theatre performers during their rehearsals for 'A Chorus Line.' Following their meeting, lockdowns intensified their bond through lengthy video calls. Even as they spent time together, like paddleboarding, Angelina struggled to understand the nature of Lachlan's feelings. The turning point was a dinner invitation from Lachlan, showcasing his romantic interest, which left Angelina both excited and nervous, marking a significant moment in their evolving relationship.
When I first began hanging out with Lachlan, I was instantly attracted to him. We bonded over our shared love for the ocean and surfing.
The lockdown turned our tentative Instagram chats into two-hour video calls, allowing us to really get to know one another beyond mere acquaintances.

On the night of the dinner, I wore a denim jumpsuit and was so nervous, but also excited—my feelings were all over the place.
