The rest of the workday passes by in a blur. Focusing on the charity fundraiser helps to distract me from thinking of Evan too much. Chloe really wants a ride to the ball with a real prince and princess and I made calls all day long trying to solicit a donation from a limo company. Sadly though, there aren’t many in the area that have any availability for the night. Upstate New York is also fresh out of princes and princesses. I’m not beat though. I will give this little girl the night she deserves.

So even though I was able to clear my brain of Evan for the day, for every single second of the drive home, he’s the only thought in my head.

Where are we going to go? What should I wear? What is he going to expect? What do I expect?

I shower quickly and blow out my hair, letting it fall softly in large curls. Standing in front of my closet, I realize my wardrobe could benefit from a few updates. Even though I texted Evan earlier asking about where we were going, he wouldn’t give me any details, saying he wanted it to be a surprise.

Can’t go wrong with a little black dress. With soft ruching that gathers at my hip under the sparkly clasp, and a to-the-knee flowy skirt, I feel feminine and sexy. There’s no snow on the ground so I go with shiny, patent leather stilettoes. A light touch of make-up, spritz of perfume and I’m ready for my date. Cue the swarm of butterflies.

At ten to eight, I flop back on the couch and stare blankly at nothing in particular. For all of my “I’m never dating again” and “I’m more than happy with being single” talk over the years, I guess I never saw how ridiculous I was being in denying myself the chance to feel this kind of excitement. The rush of not knowing what’s going to happen, the pull that draws you into someone you barely know, wanting to learn everything about them that you can, knowing, or at least hoping, they feel the same way about you – this is the stuff I’ve let myself go without.

Not anymore.

My confident, yet inward, declaration of self-proclaimed happiness coincides perfectly with the gentle knock at the front door. Standing, I smooth out my dress and take a deep breath, hoping for the best, feeling a change coming at me from the other side of that door.

Speech completely eludes me as I open the door and let the vision of Evan holding a bunch of flowers, leaning up against the doorframe sink in. In the few times we’ve seen each other, there was a casual normalcy to his appearance – jeans and a t-shirt, nothing over the top. Even his attitude was mellow and relaxed. But the man standing before me is transformed somehow.

More masculine.

More dominant.

More in control.

And so unbelievably sexy.

The soft leather of his jacket pulls across his broad chest and bunches in his arms as he extends the beautifully wrapped flowers to me.
