     It was our first date, which I refused to take lightly. Katie deserved a perfect first date. I'd learned about her as a person these past months, enough to know that she was special. Special seems to be such an overused word. Insincere; said too lightly. I meant it though, in its truest form.

     When I was with her, the sound of her laughter filled the room. I'd known since the day I'd laid eyes on her, I'd give her the world if I could. And when I was with her, giving her the world wasn't recognized in my eyes as impossible.

    I'd decided that our first date should be simple, but cozy. I remember the nervousness in my voice as I called her to tell her where to meet. "My apartment at 7:00. Wear comfortable clothing; we'll be staying in." Her reply was "okay" with a tone edged with curiosity.

     When I heard the doorbell ring on my doorstep and opened the door to find Katie standing there, in sweatpants and a hoodie, my breathing stopped. And that was the split second where I realized I was in love.

Katie Mitchell *POV*

     When I stood, in the entryway to his apartment, looking at him, I knew I was in love. I saw his shaking hands, and stepping closer to him, I realized how fast his heart was beating. I knew the effort he had made to make me at ease and comfortable.

     I snapped back to reality and realized that those feelings hadn't changed.
