Three weeks in, on Halloween
Some say we moved to fast in our relationship. I say we moved at just the right pace. The three forbidden words that every girls dreams to hear came on the night I would least expect.
It was quite warm for late October, although perhaps it was just the idea of him that gave me warmth.
I remember walking with my step sisters and my mother, being in only seventh grade she didn't want us out by ourselves. I wore and old dance costume that looked like a penguin with a hat.
It is hard to recall exactly what words were spoken.
What I said to him.
What he said to me.
What made him say those wonderful three words that every girl dreams.
Of course the most brilliant man alive couldn't simply say three words, it's to generic. He is to proper and witty to deliver three simple words, he had to say it in a question. Almost as he was certain that he was uncertain about the truth.
My lack of memory before he sent the words may be due to the overwhelming emotions my body held when I read them. Perhaps the emotion was to strong and it blocked my memory of anything before that moment. As long as I remember those words, I honestly could care less about what happened before.
Because those words were magical.
I was just walking, holding a bag of candy dressed like a penguin when he sent it.
"You know what Anna? I think... I think I may be in love with you"
I do remember that my heart stopped and my body froze. Feet plastered to ground almost as if all the souls that had been in love came from above and created a wall in front of me, and all the souls that never got love came ground the ground and grabbed my ankles keeping me in place.
I couldn't think.
I couldn't type. But I had to.
I wish I could had said something clever. But my brain would not work. All I could say was "I think, I may love you too".
I may have been dressed like a penguin in the middle of a dark crowded street, but let me say. I felt like I wore a ball gown with a crown placed upon my head and the hole world was staring at me.
I felt like a princess.
No. He made me a princess.
