Your heart’s beating fast, butterflies swarm and bash inside your stomach and you can’t help but shake like an Autumn’s leaf. Just a few metres away from you at the other side of the room is the love of your life, a beaming smile on their face and the scent of familiarity surrounding them from their favourite fragrant, effortlessly expanding and spreading out into the air.
Suddenly with a new found courage you bound towards them, determined. They turn around to look at you, oblivious to your mission as you begin to spit out the nerve-racking words,
“Would you like to go out onto a date with me?”
Time slows down, their potential answer seems to weigh heavily upon your shoulders. They blush, you blush. Suddenly you’re very sweaty and it is getting really awkward. Then, comes the amazing word, “Yes.”
You sigh with relief. All is well, until you realise… Where are you going to take her/him?
