Brian smiles back, his chocolate-brown eyes glittering in the warm candlelight of the intimate French restaurant I picked out for our anniversary. My schedule has been packed lately, and it’s been a while since we’ve gone on a real date, so this time, we decided to go all out. After all, it’s not every day you get to celebrate spending six months with a man who makes you grateful not to be part of the dating scene anymore.
“Cheers,” he replies, clinking his glass to mine.
We’re both taking a sip as our server returns with our entrees. Coq au vin for me, and the chef’s signature sea bass for him.
My mouth wate
