I managed to show up on time even though it had taken me nearly a dozen wardrobe changes to pick out what to wear. Jiyong had laughed at me over the phone when I asked him what I should wear on a coffee date with a pretty girl who reads books and has a smile like an angel. He was little help other than to remind me to put on deodorant.  Lucky that he had because I actually did forget in my fluster.

I sat in my car outside the coffee house for several minutes, attempting to grow a pair. I was nervous. I was never nervous around girls. But I was nervous. Finally, I took a breath and got out of my car. As I headed towards the cafe, a cab pulled up and I watched as the pretty bookstore girl stepped out. She was wearing a red dress with black polka dots and black flats. She was the most beautiful thing I ever saw. Then, she smiled when she saw me. That was the most beautiful thing I ever saw.
