Friday night arrives, and Elias, dressed casually, waits anxiously outside SkyBlueSerenity's apartment door. His heart pounds as he hears footsteps approaching. SkyBlueSerenity opens the door, looking stunning in their favorite dress. Their eyes lock, and both feel a rush of excitement and nervousness.
SkyBlueSerenity
