The Date

She felt a little tremor of nervousness shake her. She hadn't been on a date in forever. How did she dress up? How did she act?

She wished she knew where they were going so that she could better prepare for tonight, but she would just have to think on her feet. Regardless, she knew that she would have fun with him.

The rest of the lectures she had to sit through during that day seemed to pass right through her ears.

She hadn't been able to focus much lately since things were finally getting good again with Elias.

She didn't want them to go down a dark path again because that wasn't fun at all.

Being without him was painful, and she didn't want to ever go through that again. It made her want to enjoy these good times even more.

When her lab ended, she nearly ran to her dorm, dodging around other students as she crossed campus.
