Chapter 6
I have a date tonight. A first date. I’m nervous and excited and hopeful and scared and probably more emotions I’m too anxious to put a name on. In all honesty, I haven’t felt like this since the day I launched the blog. Dating’s not new territory by a long shot, but he is, in the very best possible way. He surprises me. After everything I’ve been through, I’d thought I could never be surprised again.
Do you know how good that feels? That flutter in the pit of your stomach because you know just enough to feel safe but not so much that you can predict exactly how everything will play out? It’s an adrenaline rush that hones your senses. Colors are brighter. Sounds are clearer.
We’re cooking dinner together tonight. I’m going to bet every bite tastes fantastic, even if it’s not.
