It's your first date, she's wearing a dress and you shaved just before going out the door. She finds your jokes funny, and you aren't thinking about the moment when she won't anymore, when she'll give you that weary face instead of tonight's full-out laugh. You order a bottle of wine, and you don't know that soon you'll notice the hairs that sprout from her enchanting mole, you wouldn't believe it if your future self came back in time to tell you that the pitch her voice gets when she asks, again, if you've taken out the garbage will make you want to cover her face with your hands.
