It was six thirty, and Sakaeguchi was all set to pick up Ruri. Since her house was just a short walk from his, and the super-fancy restaurant was a short walk from her house, he didn't bring his bike.
As he walked, he thought of everything he loved about Ruri. Normally, Sakaeguchi would have been really nervous for an event like this, but somehow thinking about her calmed him down a lot.
When he reached the door, he gently pressed the doorbell and waited for Ruri to come outside. Of course, he only had to stand there for a moment, as she was always quick and speedy.
Sakaeguchi hadn't really been expecting anything spectacular in terms of what she was going to wear, so he was completely unprepared for what he saw when his girl walked out the door.
Catching his breath, he gazed at the lovely figure before him. Ruri was dressed in a midnight-blue strapless gown decorated with tiny silver jewels that glimmered in the starlight. Her rich, dark brown hair was curled loosely at the tips and hung over her shoulders. But possibly the best thing about her were her eyes. She hadn't used makeup or fake eyelashes or anything, but somehow her eyes seemed to shine brighter than ever before.
Grabbing Sakaeguchi's hand, she raced down the driveway and together they walked all the way to Belleangeure, falling more in love with each step they took.
