Penelope was right. She was at the door in exactly 30 minutes. Adeline swung it open, her excitement palpable. "So tell me, tell me, tell me!" Penelope exclaimed, practically bouncing on her feet. Bags in hand.

Adeline dragged Penelope to her couch, "Okay so... when you dragged Derek away and forced me to dance with Spencer. That's when he confessed he was in love with me. Then as we were leaving, we shared a cab and I invited him in to which he agreed."

Penelope eagerly listened, "Oh my god, did you do it?" She interrupted.

"No, we didn't. Let me get through the story." Adeline said. Penelope pouted before she continued, "So we sat here for a bit and chatted. She told me some silly facts, in true Doctor reid fashion. I had my head on his chest and his heart was beating like crazy. I knew he was nervous, but it was so so cute. As we were chatting he said he wanted to kiss me so we had a small kiss. And then..." Adeline blabbered on for a few more minutes about the happenings of the evening.

"Okay okay, so what happened this morning?" Penelope excitedly asked.

"So we woke up, I brushed my teeth because, you know, morning breath. And then I came back into the bedroom and we started playfully fighting. He managed to pin me down. Like hands above head. Ugh, it took everything in me not to rip his clothes off. It was so hot." Adeline reminisced. Penelope couldn't decide if she was disgusted or intrigued by the personal details of her friend's life. She decidedly went with intrigued.

Adeline continued, "So to calm myself down, I went to make breakfast. We sat and watched an episode of Friends whilst we were eating. He cleared up and then we were in the kitchen and he was being so cute and romantic with his words. So much so that I grabbed him by the shirt and we were making out. And it was hot and steamy. He stopped it in the end and that's where he left. We are going out together tonight at 7pm."

Penelope squealed with excitement, her eyes lighting up as she hugged Adeline tightly. "Oh my God! This is like the ultimate fairy tale! I can't believe it! You're going to have the best night!"

"I hope so!" Adeline laughed, her heart racing again just thinking about it. "I just want everything to go perfectly. I've been on cloud nine since he told me he loves me!"

"You deserve this happiness, girl!" Penelope said, pulling back and looking Adeline up and down. "Now, let's get you ready to dazzle him! What about that green dress you have? The one that hugs your curves perfectly?"

Adeline nodded enthusiastically. "Yes! I love that dress, but I was worried it might be too much."

"Too much? No way! It's the perfect mix of classy and sexy, and it'll show him just how stunning you are," Penelope replied, her enthusiasm infectious. "Let's get it out and try it on!"

As Adeline rummaged through her closet, the nerves began to transform into excitement. She pulled out the dark green dress, holding it up to admire how it looked in the light. It was just the statement piece she needed for such a big night.

With a little squeal of excitement, she set it aside and made her way to the bathroom, turning on the water for a luxurious, everything shower. The steam quickly filled the room, and as she stepped under the warm spray, she allowed herself to fully unwind, letting any remaining jitters wash away. She took her time, going through her entire routine—scrubbing, exfoliating, and conditioning—making sure every part of her felt refreshed and pampered.
