Chapter 46: A Night of Firsts

Alex took deep breaths as her steps brought her closer and closer to Birdy's front door. Tonight was the night that she was finally going to take Birdy out on a date.

She had taken the other woman's directive to "sweep her off her feet" very seriously and it was only adding to her anxiety. She couldn't remember the last time she had actually been on a first date, especially with anyone she cared for as deeply as she did for Birdy.
