"Nate's amazing." I tell her and she smiles. "He helps me so much with everything and our relationship finally feels more normal. No distractions, no hiding, no brothers or family members interfering. It's perfect."
                          
"So how long have you been going out now?" She asks and I sigh.
                          
"From when we made it official?" I ask and she nods. "Five weeks?"
                          
"So you've passed your one-month?" She asks excitedly and I feel my eyes widen.
                          
"I guess we did." I say, now realizing it for myself. "But we've never celebrated anything like that, we celebrate more-so how long we've known each other, big days. Stuff like that I guess."
                          
"Well I still maintain the opinion that you guys are the sweetest couple on the planet." She says with a sappy grin. "And I'm guessing you two are enjoying all of this new down-time together?" She asks suggestively, raising her eyebrows. 
                          
"Kate!" I huff, smacking her arm.
                          
"I'll take that as a yes." She says and I roll my eyes. 
                          
Suddenly my phone vibrates and I see Nate's name on the screen. I smile and look outside, seeing him standing next to the open door of his car.
                          
"He's here." I say quietly, getting my things together and she elbows me. "Thanks for meeting me Kate, you're the best." I tell her, giving her another hug and she gives me a good squeeze.
                          
"Of course Sash." She says and I smile. "Call me if you ever want to hang out."
                          
"You know I will." I tell her, sliding my laptop into my bag. "See you later." I whisper, getting out of the chair and giving her a quick wave. I hurry out to Nate's car and he smiles as I walk over and give him a hug.
                          
"Hey gorgeous." He says and I smile. "How was coffee?"
                          
"It was amazing, I'm officially all signed up for my Olympic try-outs." I tell him and he raises his eyebrows.
                          
"That's great Sash." He whispers, giving me a quick kiss. "What are you up to tomorrow?" He asks and I furrow my eyebrows. 
                          
"Absolutely nothing." I tell him and he nods.
                          
"Good because tomorrow marks a very special anniversary." He whispers and I pull back feeling confused. "Come on baby, doesn't the day April eleventh mean anything to you?" He asks and I feel my eyes widen.
                          
"I didn't realize it was tomorrow!" I tell him and he nods, pulling his dog-chains out of his shirt. 
                          
"I compared the dates and everything, it's the ten year anniversary of meeting you."
                          
"The day we both enrolled in that beginner spring course." I tell him and he nods. "I was just freaking out because I realized we've been going out for a month and we didn't celebrate it-"
                          
"Believe me Sash this is a way bigger deal." He says and I smile.
                          
"I love you." I whisper, wrapping my arms around his neck.
                          
"Love you more." He says and I laugh, too happy to fight with him about it. "So, dad's away and mom won't be home until later. Do you want to come over and hang out for a while?"
                          
"I'd love that, tonight's girls night." I remind him and he nods.
                          
"Right, what time is that?" He asks and I smile.
                          
"Mel said seven." I whisper and he smiles.
                          
"Well get in and we'll figure out how to make use of two and a half hours." He says and I feel my body heat up a few pleasant degrees.
