CORMAC

It was finally time to have the dinner Poppy and I had agreed on. I had the perfect place chosen and asked a friend who worked there to hold a table near the window for us. Everything was going perfect, so far.

I’d slicked my hair and beard into shape with a bit of potion I’d found in the marketplace. It smelled like elderberries, which was soothing. Between that and the plum tailored jacket that I wanted to surprise Poppy with, I was feeling quite handsome.

That didn’t keep my thoughts from racing, from wondering if I wasn’t going to screw up the best friendship I’d ever had on the chance that we could make this relationship even more, somehow. I was so nervous I wanted to vomit, but I couldn’t do that without damaging the clothing I’d bought just for the occasion.

I so desperately wanted tonight to go well. We’d been kissing and flirting more in the last week or so, which had been wonderful. I had enjoyed every minute of it, just the way I had our friendship over the last decade. Sometimes I caught Poppy’s gaze and wondered if maybe they didn’t want to go further, but I hadn’t wanted to push them before they were sure.

Not until after this dinner, anyway. After this, we were going to need to have a conversation about how we wanted to proceed. That was what had me nervous, more than anything. I desperately didn’t want to lose them as a friend, no matter what. This dinner would not be the end of our friendship. In my heart of hearts, I knew that. I had to focus on what it could turn into instead.

I smoothed my hands down the plush fabric of my jacket and took a few deep breaths. Before I could psych myself out again, I walked out the door, locking the forge for the night, and whispered a silent prayer to the Goddess for luck.
