Always thinking a week ahead
Tuned to what Sam loves — long walks, live jazz, good coffee.
It's been 57 days since your last date — no guilt, life gets full. Friday is clear for you both, so I've already put something together: river light, small plates, and that jazz trio you saved.

Something to send Sam
Written from what I know about the two of you. Copy it, edit it, make it yours.
- thinking of you
Walked past that coffee place you like and thought about you for the whole rest of the road. Hope today's being kind.
Sam's love language is quality time — small check-ins land well mid-week.
- romantic
Five years in and you're still the person I want to tell things to first. That's not nothing.
Your anniversary is 16 days out — warming things up early.
- thank you
Thank you for doing the boring Sunday stuff without making it a thing. I noticed.
Sam did the admin run last weekend and you never mentioned it.
