Special memories

I take a moment to relish this small victory before sending her another message.

Me: Get ready for 6. Wear something comfy and elegant.

After sending a heart emoji, I exit the chat and start packing up my belongings. Reminding myself that everything will be fine, I emphasize the importance of checking the site for just an hour.

As I wait at the third stoplight, the red glow filling my car's interior, I take a moment to lovingly admire the intricate details of the ring on my finger.
