Aurelia felt a mix of excitement and nerves as she approached Anastasia's house

. After Walker had asked her to be his girlfriend, she couldn't wait to share the news with her closest friend. Anastasia had always been her confidante, the person who knew her better than anyone else.

Telling her about this new development felt like the natural next step.

She rang the doorbell, and a moment later, Anastasia opened the door with a wide grin. "Aurelia! Get in here!"

Inside, the house was warm and welcoming, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air.

Aurelia followed Anastasia into the living room, where Noah, Anastasia's boyfriend, was lounging on the couch, scrolling on his girlfriend tiktoks

"Hey, Aurelia," Noah said, giving her a friendly wave. "How's it going?"

"Hey Simp " she said pointing at his phone

"Pretty great, actually," Aurelia replied, trying to keep her excitement in check. "I've got some news."

Anastasia's eyes lit up with curiosity as she sat next to Aurelia on the couch. "Spill it! What's going on?"

"Well," Aurelia began, glancing between Anastasia and Noah. "Walker and I are dating now."

Anastasia let out a squeal of delight, throwing her arms around Aurelia. "Oh my God! I knew it! I knew you two would end up together!"

Aurelia laughed, feeling a rush of happiness at her friend's enthusiasm. "Yeah, he asked me yesterday, and I said yes."

Noah looked impressed. "That's awesome, Aurelia. You two make a great couple."

"Thanks, Noah," Aurelia said, smiling. "But I need you guys to keep it under wraps for now. We're only telling our closest friends."

Noah grinned, a playful glint in his eyes. "And you chose me too? I'm honored!"

Aurelia chuckled, shaking her head. "No, Noah, you're just here by default."

Anastasia laughed, playfully nudging Noah. "You're lucky to be in the loop, babe."

"Guess I am," Noah said with a shrug. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me."

They spent the afternoon chatting and celebrating the news, the atmosphere light and joyful. Anastasia peppered Aurelia with questions about how Walker had asked her, and Aurelia recounted the moment with a dreamy smile.

"He just asked me so simply," Aurelia said, recalling the scene at the park. "It was perfect."

Anastasia sighed, resting her head on her hand. "That sounds like a movie moment. I'm so happy for you, Aurelia."

"Thanks, Ana. I'm really excited," Aurelia replied, feeling grateful to have friends who supported her so wholeheartedly.

The afternoon passed in a blur of laughter and conversation, and Aurelia felt a sense of contentment settle over her. Sharing this new chapter with Anastasia and, by extension, Noah, made it feel all the more real and exciting.

As Aurelia left Anastasia's house later that day, she couldn't help but feel that everything was falling into place. With Walker by her side and her friends supporting her, she was ready to take on whatever adventures lay ahead.
