Author's Note: Coda (and spoilers for) Episode 6.01, "The Date Night Variable"
Rating: T
Dear Constanza,
As you well know, this evening, Sheldon and I celebrated our second anniversary and, at the close of a long evening (and after a bit of personal reflection on my part) I have come to a startling realization: front-closure bras can be deadly.
I have been absolutely smitten with the things ever since Penny first introduced them to me that fateful day last winter in Victoria Secret's. Not only are they convenient—eliminating the need to reach behind you to fasten your bra—but they also tend to be flattering to the girls (if you know what I mean, Constanza, and I think you do). However, unbeknownst to me, the front clasp came partially loose and got caught in one of the buttons on my shirt. I came quite close to dying of asphyxiation while trying to disrobe. Prior to this unfortunate incident, I had always thought the term "wardrobe malfunction" was a curious phrase, but now, having experienced such a mishap firsthand, I understand the necessity of such a term.
I imagine that you are likely waiting for me to spills the proverbial "beans" regarding my date with Sheldon, but I am tired and bit jostled emotionally. So, I will simply summarize it thusly: despite some low points (not the least of which was a visit from Raj), it ended on a high note. Coupled with Sheldon's handhold a few days ago, I don't believe I'm wrong in saying that I can sense the winds of change arriving just beyond the horizon. I can only hope they come sooner, rather than later.
Currently, however, my evening is not quite over. I sit here—clad in my comfy, flannel pajamas and snugly tucked into bed—and as soon as I finish documenting my evening in this volume, I'll attend to the bowl of delicious red velvet ice-cream that is calling to me from the nightstand. Then, I'm going to settle in and treat myself to a movie. It's a reckless thing to do, I know, and it might make me a little drowsy tomorrow at work, but I've never seen Spider-Man I before, and I think it's high time I did.
XOXOXO
