Today’s Question: How does your partner make you feel loved?

I stare back at my reflection in the full-length mirror, feeling more beautiful than I ever have.

I run my hands down the bodice of my white and crimson floral fit and flare dress, admiring my appearance. The V-neck is deep, deeper than anything I’ve ever worn, but when I tried it on at the boutique with my mom yesterday, she assured me it was absolutely lovely, both in the fitting room and at the register, when she treated me to the new outfit for my date with Brody.

Lovely.

I smile as I gaze at my image. I want to look lovely and surprising for dinner tonight. That’s why, instead of a little black dress, I choose a bright, feminine pattern. The dress is sleeveless and hits above my knee, and when I twirl, it floats around me. The darting on it is sublime. It even has discreet pockets; how adorable is that?

I clipped up some of my blonde layers with embellished hair pins, which look beautiful when the light hits them. A stack of my grandmother’s pearl bracelets on my left wrist and a pair of nude-colored ankle-strap high heels finish the outfit. Brody promised me dinner would be intimate and posh, and I want to be an elegant lady on his arm tonight.

I study my makeup. I went a little smokier on the eyes, using some metallic shadows to make my brown-gold eyes pop. For the first time ever, I’m wearing red on my lips, a gorgeous cherry color. And of course, I’ve sprayed the scent that Brody loves, cardamom and mimosa, on my wrists and neck where he’s sure to get a whiff of it.

I’ve never put this much effort into getting ready for a date before.

Probably because a date has never mattered to me like this one does.

This is a formal date, one that will be elegant and fancy and shows how highly Brody thinks of me. The first night he has off from baseball, he wants to spend it creating a memorable evening for us. I know he has to be tired. I know he must have things at home he needs to catch up on.

Ha-ha, catch. Brody is good at that.

I take one final look, checking for panty lines but I’m smart enough to do it in private this time. Satisfied there are none, I practically float down the hall on a cloud of happiness, going back to my original thought. I would understand if he simply wanted to grab takeout and spend the night on the couch, but he doesn’t. Instead, he’s putting on a suit and tie and he’s taking me out to an elegant dinner.

Which says everything about him that I like.

That I’m beginning to love.

I enter the living room and see Katie on the couch.

“Oh, my, Hayley, you look beautiful,” Katie says, her eyes wide.

“Thank you. Could you help me zip up the back all the way? I couldn’t reach it.
