We quickly got dressed, with Karim opting for a crisp button-down shirt and dark jeans that made him look effortlessly handsome. I chose a simple yet elegant dress, one that Karim always complimented me on whenever I wore it. As I applied a touch of makeup, I could see Karim watching me from the mirror, a soft smile playing on his lips.
"You're stunning," he said, coming up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. His warmth seeped into me, and I leaned back against him, feeling a contentment that I hadn't felt in a while.
"Thank you," I whispered, meeting his gaze in the mirror. "I feel like tonight is going to be special."
"It already is," Karim replied, kissing the top of my head before releasing me. "Ready?"
