The moment he left the coffee shop, I made arrangements to have the rest of my shift covered and went shopping for a new dress. Then I got my hair, nails and make up done. My excitement was palpable. I was on cloud nine, having finally gotten over the whole cappuccino mess.
Being me, I even did some research ahead of time into the exhibition and the artist, so I would have some things to say to him. I wanted to be animated and conversational when he presented me with what he'd been surrounding himself with for the last few weeks. He deserved a lively back and forth instead of carrying the conversation like he had been for weeks now.
Had I been leaning too hard on him? We were supposed to be in this together and I just sort of checked out. Well tonight would be different.
Scott: Headed home now. See you soon?
Stacy: Can't wait.
Scott: Calm down, baby. Keep your legs together until after the exhibition.
Stacy: Keep making fun of me and we won't make it there.
