I turned around in front of the mirror, looking at my dress over. Aside from my stomach which could not be hidden anymore, the dress was a perfect choice for a date. Leonard had assured me countless times that the size of my stomach is nothing to be worried about, and I believed him.
We were going on our monthly date and Leonard would be back from the office anytime soon since it was only less than an hour before time. I took in the dress one last time, imagining just how much Leonard would love it.
My phone rang just then, and I answered it.
"Hello, how do you do?" I asked, trying as hard as I could to not sound too excited.
"Are you still up for the date?" Leonard asked from the other end, and I feared he'd changed his mind.
"Yes, I'm up for it." I replied, hoping he hadn't changed his mind. I have looked forward to going on monthly dates with Leonard after the first date, and today was no exception.
