**Rafael's singing voice:**

Alright, you asked for it! And if you thought I’d be too embarrassed to do it... you thought wrong!
Let’s see, what kind of song do you want to hear? Are you a country girl at heart? Ah, I don’t think you are. Hmm, maybe one of those pop songs that are popular online? Hmm, nah, that doesn’t feel right for you either...

You know what? Not only am I going to sing for you... But I’m also going to make up my own song! Hope it brings me bonus points...

Here it goes. Girl, you’re so hot! Girl, you’re so sweet! I can’t believe I’m singing right now, but I really want to meet! I know we’ll have a blast, on all of our three dates... I hope you like me too, because you seem pretty great, alright! Ok...

**Rafael's work story:**

Okay, so... Two of my buddies used to work here: Jamal and Quincy. And once they started working in the same shift, they kind of hit it off. They went out on a couple of dates, everything was going well, but... Then they started seeing... too much of each other, I guess... So one day, I come to work, and they’re in this a huge fight. They’re... they’re throwing all kinds of balls at each other — dodgeballs, soccer balls, footballs — it... it was a mess! And yeah, I can laugh, because... no one physically got hurt... But they did break up after that, and then they both quit. Sucked having to replace them both...

**Rafael's cute story:**

Okay, so on my break, I run home to take Mika for a walk. I don’t live far from the store, so it works out great! Anyway, when I open the door, all I see is a trail of unrolled toilet paper. Bad news, right? So I follow it, all the way to the kitchen, and there’s Mika, sitting in a pile of dirt. And I realize that he was in the neighbor’s flower garden again, because there’s a few picked flowers around... It was a mess! And I wanted to be mad, I wanted to be real mad, but he’s so cute, it’s practically impossible. Anyway, I just thought maybe that story would make you laugh.

**Rafael's sweet message:**

Hey, beautiful! So, I remember telling you about the first time I saw your picture... But now I wanted to talk about the first time I saw you in person.

I spotted you across the gym as soon as you walked in. I was so nervous I kept glancing at the doors! But then I saw you... and it took me a minute to get the courage to approach you because you were so much more beautiful than your photos... and that’s saying something! I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest or something! I just can’t wait to see you again, because... well, y’know! I just can’t!

**Rafael's ex:**

So my ex, Mandy, and I... we dated for over a year and I fell for her... I fell hard. I was fully convinced she would be the person I’d spend the rest of my life with... But about six months ago, she broke up with me. Out of the blue. It came as a complete shock. She told me she was too young to settle down, and that we were getting too serious too fast... I’ll be honest with you, I was beyond heartbroken... I was devastated. Luckily, I got Mika around the same time, and like I told you, he saved my life, he really did.

**Rafael's feelings:**

Hey... So, I just got home from my shift... I was thinking... Maybe we should cancel our date tonight. Y’know, seeing Mandy again brought up really bad memories, and I’m feeling confused right now... I don’t want to get back together with her or anything like that! But it’s making me realise that I should be more careful with who I trust. She really broke my heart back then, and I never even saw it coming...

You’re wonderful, you’re all I ever wanted, really... And I’m enjoying our time together so much... it’s just, I don’t think I’d be a good date to you tonight. I’m really sorry.

**Rafael's dad:**

Hey, so... I dropped the bomb on my dad about Mandy. I told him everything. He, uh... He was pretty upset because I didn’t tell him right away, but he understands I needed a minute to get my head on straight. He’s also kind of bummed he’s out an employee, but he knows it’s for the best, and he’ll find someone else, and... And we both agreed it was disrespectful of her to do this in the first place!

Anyway, it feels really good to get all that off of my chest, and finally have some closure... It’s definitely time to move on and start a new chapter... Hopefully with you.

**Rafael's answer:**

You want to know if I’m still on the fence about you? Well that answer is easy... I don’t think I’ve ever been on the fence. I really enjoy spending time with you, and I’m happier with you than I’ve been in a long time... This was never in question, I never had doubts about that. But I do think the third date is important too, so let’s see what happens and go from there. It was our plan all along, right? If we’re meant to be, we’re meant to be, I truly believe that.

Now, let’s meet at the dock in an hour, and get ready for a fun day!

**Rafael's girlfriend:**

So my girlfriend’s name was Dara, and we’d been dating for a few months when I brought her home to dinner... I think I mentioned my mom is kinda hard to win over... Which made it even worse when Dara spilled her dinner on the rug, broke my mom’s wine glass, and then accidentally called her old. Needless to say, my mom wasn’t a fan. I tried to tell her Dara was just nervous, but it didn’t do much good!

As funny as this story is now, I don’t want you to think my mom is a mean person. She just loves me something fierce, I guess!

That said, I know she’ll love you!

**Rafael's crazy experience:**

Okay, so... I matched with this woman named Portia and we kind of clicked right off the bat. We seemed to have a lot in common, so we agreed to meet up... But when I got to the restaurant, Portia wasn’t waiting for me... Well, she was, but she wasn’t the Portia from the photos... She was a 70-year-old woman! I’d been catfished.

It was good, though! I stayed for dinner and Portia became a good friend... Like I said, we had tons in common... Just no romantic connection between us!

So, yeah... Did I ever tell you I’m super happy you turned out to be the person in your pictures?

**Rafael's new backyard:**

So as you know, one of the main reasons I got this house was because of the big yard. I knew Mika would love it, and boy, was I right! The second I took her outside, she got the zoomies! She ran around the whole perimeter like five times, then laid in the grass and rolled around. It’s like she knows it’s her new home. I tried to get her to come inside... No chance! I eventually had to bribe her in with treats... Yeah, it definitely already feels like home to Mika, which makes me feel like... This was the right choice.

**Rafael's feeling of home:**

I don’t know yet what makes a house a home exactly... But I now know it’s more of a feeling than anything, like, tangible. It’s not about the physical possessions that are in it or the way it’s decorated... I guess it’s about the way a person feels when they walk through the door. I want to be able to come home and instantly feel at peace, you know? I want to feel like I can be myself and not be judged for it... But I also want it to be somewhere fun, a place that brings me joy. And most importantly, I want to settle into my own bed at night, knowing there’s no place in the world I’d rather be.

**Rafael's parents:**

So... I haven’t actually told my parents yet. That I bought a house. And it’s weird, you know, ‘cause I usually tell them everything... But I wanted to keep this under wraps until it was all done, you know? I don’t even know why I did that, but... I guess I want to make everything exactly the way I want it, and then invite them over. This is a big deal, you know, and I really want them to be proud of what I’ve done. They’ve been urging me to buy a house, like, forever, so I want to make sure I do this right... I hope that makes sense.

**Rafael's new beginning:**

So, for the past few years, I’ve been on the go, chasing adventures... And some of them chasing me! I’ve been staying active, always keeping busy, and yeah, I mean I’ve had my parents and the sporting goods store to come back to, but... This feels different, it’s different now. I have a home, like... It’s my new go-to. It’s my safe space.

And yeah, don’t get me wrong, I’m still going on adventures, like the one I’m on right now with you... But now I have a home base. It’s like, a new stage in my life!
