Every rustle sounds like their footsteps. Longing runs deep; wait with patience.

| Single | You already have someone in mind; find a chance to say so. |
|---|---|
| Dating | If their feelings are unclear, talk more and guess less. |
| Married | If apart or distant, reach out and share that you miss them. |
