My hands were cold and sweaty and the idea of meeting the lady who brought to this world a part of my life was overwhelming even for someone who seems confident at all times.

And they love.
And more than that, they need to GIVE love.
That's the thing.
They had me.
I gotta admit that maybe the mentioning of the word "cakes" had to do something with it too, but if I were to be honest about it, I would forever be known as the girl who can be bought with cakes.
Oh, what the hell? Just bring out the chocolate and I promise I'll behave.
With the promise of a later meeting at home, we left the restaurant and you took my hand into yours as we...
