Day 7: Destination

She excused herself and went to the bathroom to freshen up. She looked at her reflection in the mirror, and was surprised to see a girl giggling back at her. And she giggled again, as the butterflies flitted round her heart once more. So this is what it feels like to go on a date with a stranger.

He was leaning against a pillar and looking at her from under his boyish fringe as she walked towards him. She smiled, and moved to brush away the stray strands of hair covering his jet black eyes.

Yes, she whispered. Yes.
