I couldn't take my eyes off her.
Sofia had me spellbound the moment she walked down the stairs, looking absolutely stunning in the dress we picked out during our date. She appeared timid and reserved as my mother and father began taking pictures of us.
My mother wasn't exactly thrilled to hear that Sofia and I were going to prom together, but we explained that neither of us had been dating anyone lately and since we were best friends, it seemed like going together would take a lot less effort than scrambling for a date. My mom's shoulders sagged in surrender before she kissed me on the cheek and whispered, "If that's what makes you happy, Ben."
And it did make me happy. Sofia made me happy.
