I watched the couples around me smile happily as they'd finally met the person they'd been talking to all month without knowing who they were. They all looked like they'd just jumped out of a fairytale. It seemed so magical.

And I felt that way too. 

I sipped at my sparkling apple cider as I awaited the arrival of my Romeo. We'd made the plan to meet here and see who else was a part of it. We didn't mention that we'd found out who each other was before this evening. 
I turned around to see Nate walking in the door with a present in his hands and a smile on his face. 

"Took your time." I grinned and hugged him. 

"I was busy with this." He handed me the delicately wrapped gift. 

"You didn't have to. I didn't get you anything." 

He pecked me gently on the forehead. "All you had to do was be here. Now open it." 

We sat down at our table and I began to unwrap the gift. My eyes widened when I saw what it was. 
The book that had resulted in our meeting. "Where did you find another one?" I gasped. 

"I didn't." He shrugged. "It's the same one. I wanted to give it to you. After all, you were the one who saw it first." 

I couldn't hold back my happiness. "I can't believe you did this. It was yours."
 
"And now it can be ours," He reached over and clasped his hands over mine. "I don't know what it is about you Mia but you've made me incredibly happy in the short time we've known each other. I'm so glad I met you." 

"I'm lucky to have met you Nate." I hugged him tightly. "I really, really am."
