At around 5:00 my stomach started doing butterflies again. I was going to see Tristan in 1 hour! What would I wear? What would we talk about?

I grabbed my favorite pair of jeans and a long-sleeved white shirt. I curled my hair and put on a little bit of make-up. By the time 5:50 arrived I was chewing my nails, something I had never done before. I sat on my couch and waited. 5:52. My stomach flipped at a sound but I realized it was the air conditioning coming on. 5:55 and my heart was racing. At exactly 6:00 there was a knock on the door. I jumped at the sound, took a deep breath and walked to the door, reassuring myself the whole time. I opened the door and there stood Tristan with a bunch of flowers. I reached out to take them from him and he took my hand and kissed it instead. My hand was burning but suddenly all my fears of the night were washed away.

"Um, let me…take….flowers" I mumbled

"Oh. Right. Here." He seemed nervous too. "So are you ready for the Dixie Chicks?"

I rushed to find a vase and put the flowers in there."Of course! I love them!"I then grabbed my bag and went to stand by the door.

"Shall we?" he said, motioning to his car. He moved out of the way and I walked out, locked the door and turned to him.

"Ok. Lets go." I started walking and he caught up. He put his arm on my shoulder and again my shoulder was burning.

"Let's go Mary." He said and smiled. It was the first time I had ever seen him smile, and I liked it.
