"Hey, you must be Emily," he said, standing up to greet me. "It's great to finally meet you."
I smiled, feeling a rush of excitement and joy. "Yes, I'd love to," I replied.
As we talked, the conversation flowed easily, and I found myself feeling more and more at ease. I couldn't believe how much I was enjoying his company, or how much I wanted to spend more time with him.
One night, as we sat on the couch, Alex turned to me and said, "You know, I've been thinking. I really love you, Emily. I love your spirit, your laughter, and your heart. I was wondering if you'd like to make this thing official, and be my girlfriend?"
I smiled and shook his hand, feeling a spark of electricity as our palms touched. "It's great to meet you too, Alex," I replied.
