I am so nervous for our first date. We met earlier that week out at, none other than, the grocery store. We were both reaching for a container of olive oil, when our eyes met and it was instant attraction. We small talked nervously, mostly about the delicious beef wellington I have been wanting to cook but felt too intimidated to try, until you challenge me to make it for you later in the week. I happily agree, feeling all warm inside as I skip out of the store, already planning the evening. And now here I am, trying to pick out the perfect outfit to impress you with while my delicious meal is in the oven.
I hear the doorbell ring and I know you are standing right outside my door, in the hallway of my apartment, and my heart flutters. I wipe away nonexistent wrinkles from my dress and open the door to see you standing there, smiling, looking heart achingly handsome, with a bouquet of beautiful peonies and a bottle of white.
