       The air in the coffee shop was heavy with the scent of caramel tinged beverages, and warm pastries. Perhaps the only thing heavier and sweeter was the tension, that had been slowly developing at a corner table.The occupants of that table exchanged glances and the occasional giggle as they sipped on their steaming sources of caffeine. Eventually, he decided it was the right time. He had been holding onto his emotions for far too long, he needed to say it. Even if it was the most terrifying thing could think of doing, he knew the whole trajectory of his life could likely hinge on the next few words out of his mouth. His heart rate began to climb.“Listen, Veronica, I, I’ve never been great at this type of thing…but…” He began before stuttering out. “Sorry, I...”Before he had chance to complete the thought, she smiled and interrupted him.“It’s ok, take your time,” she said.“Thank you,” he replied, taking the opportunity to take another sip of coffee. “What I want to say is…I…we’ve worked together on this project a long time, and I, you know, wouldn’t want anything to, I guess, undo all that work and, I guess…it’s just…” He needed another break; he was now visibly shaking.Given how clear it was he was struggling and having a sneaking suspicion about what he was planning on saying, she decided to help him out.“Tom, trust me, you can say what you need to say,” she said, hoping to ease his nerves.“Thank you, thank you.” He continued, clearly relived by the prompt, which fueled the courage to continue. “I wanted to ask, would you..erm…be willing to…erm…”He paused again, raising his finger as if to gesture, ‘just a minute’, while he took another sip.“Veronica, what I want to ask is, would you please include documentation updates in your pull requests? Things are starting to drift quite significantly since you started to contribute, and while the code is clearly very important, perhaps the documentation is more so to the success of any open-source project.”
