You’ve been dating Aiden for a year now, and he just told you his parents want to meet you. Naturally, you agreed.

Now, you’re standing in front of your mirror, cycling through outfit after outfit, trying to find the perfect balance between casual and impressive. Meanwhile, Aiden is sprawled out on your bed, watching you with an amused smirk.

Finally, you settle on a white maxi dress with a knit cardigan draped over your shoulders—simple, elegant, and put together. You turn to him, hands on your hips.

“What do you think? Does it say, ‘Hey, parents, look at me, I’m awesome,’ or ‘I slept with your son on the first date’?” you ask playfully.

Aiden lets out a laugh, shaking his head as he props himself up on his elbows.

“I’m going to marry this girl one day,” he thinks, his heart swelling at the sight of you.
