After finishing my conversation with Rose, I got out of bed to take a shower and put on some clothes. I put on my favorite blue sweater and jeans, combing my hair just the way I wanted it. I jumped down the stairs two steps at a time to meet my parents in the kitchen.
“So where are we gonna meet them?”
“Well, we’re meeting at Macaroni Grill first, then we’re going to a laser light show just outside of Atlanta. It should be fun.” my dad said as he and my mother turned to face me.
My face brightened at the thought of holding Rose close to me as we watched a beautiful laser light display. I imagined kissing her, and-
“We should be leaving soon.” said my mom, putting on her good pearl ear rings. She had a thing about dressing up whenever she was meeting someone.
When everyone was ready, I got into the back seat of my mom’s van and plugged in my earbuds. I began listening to Coldplay as the car pulled out of the garage.
I smiled brightly as I saw the sun shining upon the changing color of the fall leaves.
