Helen

All day at work, I can’t wait to get home to Roxy.

I was very careful not to wake her up. I slipped out of the apartment like a cat. Even though I wanted to hug her and kiss her I remember how pissed she got about being woken up early, so I just hold in my affectionate urges. By tonight, they’ll be keener and so much sweeter.

No matter what she needs, I’m determined to give it to her. I know we are going to be great together and I’m amazed at myself for feeling this way.

All I know for sure is that this doesn’t feel like any of my previous relationships. Maybe I’m too innocent, maybe I believe too strongly in the impossible. It really doesn’t matter.

I want Roxy and I know she wants me.

My day at work is not boring in the slightest. I start editing my photos right away and Lisa is amazed by them. Roxy is a natural model, her poses relaxed and graceful. At one point Lisa actually jumps up and down with a little squeal, hugging me tight.

“I’m so happy that this happened for you Helen!” I can feel her enthusiasm through the hug. Knowing that she genuinely cares for me makes me blush. Even though we’ve always been friends, this seems to have brought us even closer together.

For the majority of the day, it seems like everyone in the office needs me for something. I didn’t know running my own section would be so difficult, but suddenly editors are screaming at me from every direction. I expect to fold under it but instead I thrive. The more I get, the more I want.

I keep one eye on the clock. I can’t wait to get home to my girl. My body is practically singing with joy—I have everything I’ve ever wanted.

Just before it’s time to close Lisa pulls me into her office to look at wedding dresses. She asks me if we are both going to wear one.

My stomach drops out in horror. I should know this. If I’ve really been with Roxy for months—not days—then I should know.

But I don’t know.

“I’m not sure.” I try to sound confident. “We haven’t really decided.”

Lisa just grins and shakes her head.

“I just wanted to offer to buy one for you. Take this home with you and take a look. I’ll cover the cost of a dress so if you both want to be in white you only have one to pay for.”

My throat closes up. “That’s lovely of you, Lisa.” I’m truly torn by her generosity, especially because there still is no wedding. We just loosely said we hadn’t picked a date.

But having the slick pages of a magazine under my fingers makes it real. I’ve been walking on air since last night after the tie. I just assumed that this was all real now.

What if its not?

What if I’m imagining everything?

Will I get home today to find the place in a worse mess? Will she have
