It was so long ago since I was that gleeful about someone, and I knew I was going overboard, but I couldn’t help it.
Lucy accepted an invitation for lunch at my house, and it was my chance to impress her with my cooking skills. I am a chef by profession, but I rarely have the chance to make a meal for someone special. I only cook in my own home sometimes because I have my meals at a steakhouse. I wanted to build a future with Lucy, so I went all out with the meal, and that day I even passed by the heating and A/C supplier to pick up an air purification gadget I had ordered the previous day. The smart heating and A/C’s air purification system cared for air quality, I still felt the need to ensure that all was perfect. The same day I ordered, a heating and A/C professional came in for maintenance and duct cleaning. I also replaced the air filter with a new washable filter which I found more economically favorable. It was so long ago since I was that gleeful about someone, and I knew I was going overboard, but I couldn’t help it. I even wanted to have the heating and A/C contractor install a whole-home air purification system that would toil alongside the heating and A/C equipment, but that would have to wait until later. For now, the air purification help would be enough to maintain nice air quality. When the guy from home maintenance came for maintenance, he looked at me and the home and asked if I was expecting someone for a date. I laughed because it must have been written all over my face, but he just nodded in acknowledgment and said he hoped it all worked out since I had put so much effort into it.
