All Right He's Sixty-Two

It was an extremely pleasant evening. Toushiro took her out to one of her favorite restaurants down by the riverside. The food was delicious, and the conversation for once had no awkwardness in it. It was probably the best first date Momo had ever had. Toushiro walked her home and kissed her cheek before saying goodnight. It was a perfect evening.

And it left her more confused than ever. Their date had felt incredibly right. But did she really want to get involved with someone right now? She hadn't been dating Dr. Aizen, but she had been very fond of him. Was this simply a rebound? Momo didn't want it to be, but was half afraid it was. She didn't have much experience when it came to dating, but she'd heard about rebounds before. They didn't always end well. Besides, Toushiro deserved better.

Momo sighed. She really wished there was someone she could talk to about all this. But she was an only child and had been something of a tomboy growing up. Most of her friends were guys, and somehow, Momo didn't think their perspective on the situation was what she needed. Still, it had been a wonderful evening, and she had really enjoyed herself. Maybe if she just took things one day at a time, everything would work out.
