So this is what its like to be in love.

She thought when she woke up, though she would never admit it, much less say it.

She had realized she was feeling more alive than she had in a long time. The memories of the previous night flooded her mind, and she couldn't help but smile as she thought back to the way Milo had looked at her over dinner.

As she got ready to get up, Milo gently grabbed her wrist and murmured, stay.

She leaned in to give him a quick kiss, and then made her way to the shower. Turning it on, she watched the room quickly fill up with steam and thought to herself this bathroom was bigger than the kitchen in her apartment. Waiting for the water to get to the right temperature, she looked at all the nice products he had on the cabinet, and wasn't sure which one she should start with.

But then Isabelle caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and couldn't believe the changes that had taken place. She had always felt insecure about her appearance, but Milo had made her feel beautiful in a way she had never experienced before.

Isabelle knew that she was falling for him fast, but she couldn't help but wonder if he felt the same way. After all, Milo was older and more experienced, and she couldn't shake the feeling that she was just a temporary diversion for him.

But as Isabelle got into the shower - replaying the events of the previous night in her mind - she knew that there was something special between them. They had talked for hours over dinner, sharing stories and laughing at each other's jokes. Isabelle felt a deep connection with Milo, as if they were meant to be together.

I'm coming in, she heard a deep voice outside of the door, and giggled as Milo came in, fully naked, and got into the shower with her.

"Well, this is cozy," he said, as she looked up at him, inches away from his body. Once again, that feeling washed over her, completely engulfing her and all her senses.

They both felt it. It would take a sledgehammer to dampen what was happening between and even then it would rebuild itself.

After everything was said and done, they got out of the shower and looked at each other in the mirror.

"Look how beautiful you are," Milo said to her reflection quietly, "I saw it from the very first moment I laid eyes on you."

Isabelle, standing in front of him, looked back to look at the real him, not just the reflection, still in disbelief that here he was in real, human form in front of her.

"Me too. Whatever it was, I felt it too," Isabelle replied quietly, and leaned in for a kiss. They stood there like that, entertained together for some time.
