That one time Xander surprised Vanessa with her biggest fantasy. 👀

Asking for something does not make it any less meaningful. I think it's actually more meaningful because it means your partner listened to you, they heard you, they internalized that, and they decided to take action on it. I told Zander early in our relationship, I said, one of my biggest fantasies is being able to go to the airport. Just show up at the airport, have no clue where I'm going, to have a trip fully planned for me. So this was not a surprise. Xander did not come up with this on his own. I explicitly and specifically asked for it. But did that make it any less meaningful to me? Absolutely not. Like, I still got to have this incredible experience, and he still spent so much time, so much effort, so much energy making this happen for me. He listened to me, he remembered it, he decided to take action. He put all the effort and energy into making it happen. Like, the fact that I gave him the original idea did not take away from it in the slightest.
