Saturday evening —
I look at my reflection in the mirror, smiling in satisfaction at what I see. I look quite dashing, if I do say so myself. The right combination of handsome and gorgeously sexy.
It's been a while since I've worn anything like this but the confidence boost that it gives me remains the same. And if I'm being honest with myself, I need it. I know that Lizzie and I are just going out dancing, but there's a nervousness in me that I can't quite explain. I've never felt this way with her before.
Anyway. Pushing that aside, I take another last look at myself in the mirror.
Pleased with my outfit, my soft curled hair and light make-up, I turn to grab my clutch. I leave the house at a quarter past seven, arriving at Lizzie's twenty minutes later.
Parking my car on the driveway, I slide out to walk up to her front porch. The door swings open before I can knock.
"Hi," Lizzie says.
I look at her and I'm stunned speechless, like my breath has been stolen from my lungs. I open my mouth but no words come out. Here I am, standing on her front porch looking like the biggest idiot. I know that I'm staring, but I can't help it. She looks amazing.
The only thing saving me from embarrassment is the fact that she's wearing the same breathless expression. For a while, we both just stand there — on her porch, silently appraising one another with soft adoring eyes. My heart stutters in my chest at the way that she looks at me, like she's seeing me in a different light.
I can tell because I'm looking at her the exact same way.
"Wow," Lizzie says at the same time I say, "You look wonderful."
Her cheeks turn a shade of red at my comment. I smile at hers.
"Thank you," she says. "I was a little worried it was inappropriate."
"It's perfect." I clear my throat. "You're perfect."
I can't help it. She has to know. Despite the awestruck look that I'm sure is painted on my face, the words still needed to be said.
