It's been 8 months since we began dating, and everything has been wonderful. I've never felt happier. I've started taking better care of myself, making an effort to always look my best for Togame. My mood has improved significantly, and I'm even beginning to enjoy my work more and socialize with my colleagues. Everything just feels right.

Ah, Togame is calling...

Ruby: Hi lover! I was just thinking about you.

Togame: Hi darlin! Is that right? I think about you all the time.

Ruby: Haha, I'm sure you do. So, what's up?

Togame: I hope I'm not interrupting your work.

Ruby: No, not at all. Please tell me.

Togame: My parents have a business party to attend, and they've invited me too so I can mingle and build some connections. Now that I'm officially a graduate, I need to quickly land myself a secure job.

Ruby: Oh! I think that would be good for you. Glad to hear you'll be attending.

Togame: Yeah no, only if you come with me.

Ruby: Huh? Why do you want me to tag along? I ask curiously.

Togame: I'll be in a better mood if you're with me. Besides, I want to show you off. He laughs.

Ruby: Yeah, right! Err, well, okay then. I could use this time to spend with you. After all, I've missed you.

Togame: Ooooh! He drags it out. Are you ready to take it to the next level?

Ruby: What? Hmmm, I don't know. I become shy.

Togame: Haha, I was just teasing. Only when you're ready, darlin. I would never force you. After all, you're mine. You're not going anywhere.

Ruby: I blush. Ahem! Forced to cut the conversation, I say:

Ruby: Anyway, I need to go now. I have a meeting in 15 minutes.

Togame: Alright! I'll pick you up at 7:00 pm. See you then. Bye, beautiful!

Ruby: Bye, hon! See you soon.

We hang up.

It's 1:00 pm now. I decide to leave work early today to get my outfit ready for the evening. First impressions are everything.

At 4:00 pm, I finish my work and head home to prepare for the night.

I stand before my wardrobe, pondering my options. It's a formal party, so I opt for a full-sleeve black dress that strikes the perfect balance between elegance and allure. Black is always a safe bet. I pair it with sheer black stockings, pointed toe stilettos, and a chic black clutch. I grab my long coat as well, just in case the evening turns chilly.

I quickly get ready, taking the time to style my hair just right. Standing in front of the mirror, I take a moment to appreciate the reflection staring back at me. Tonight, I feel confident and ready to make an impression.
