"Is everything ok?" ✨🌻💖 Bob could tell, despite the wonderful happiness of their earlier sweet moments together, along with the lovely weather, that Allie, upon receiving a message, had, for a moment, seemed worried… as if there had been something… that had briefly wanted to surface, but then which she had… buried?! 🫢✨
At the same time, he trusted and respected Allie as her own person, and it wasn't like he wanted to control or micromanage every single thing that might come up - she was one of the most capable, talented, and brilliant people he knew, and he believed that a healthy relationship was more about genuine communication and *collaboration* - not a confining 'cooperation'… He would aim to always communicate in a life-affirming way, and help where he was able, but it was ultimately up to Allie to decide whether she wanted that or not [-that and the fact that Author was probably deliberately cooking the Plot… ✨]
Not to mention that the Art of Rizz Training and his Plans for World Domination didn't complete themselves, so Bob knew that regardless, if their romantic relationship was going to truly become a long-term, big-picture 1+1= 3 or more Win-Win, then the main thing at the very least was to make sure he kept up with his own train-ing! - and focused on progressing his own Missions!!!
In short, whatever worries that Allie had, Bob trusted that she was probably more than capable of sorting them out, and if she needed or wanted his help, then well Allie would let him know, one way or another… so he wasn't too bother-ed… but rather instead, more excited, to discover what their hopefully deepening relationship might just have ignited…!!! ✨🔥🤭
