As she danced around her apartment, Sophia felt a surge of energy she couldn't contain. She couldn't stop moving. It was the anniversary of their first date, and her and Liam were reminiscing about it. But his version of the events... was truly something else.

"Are you serious? You're saying *you* picked the restaurant?" she exclaimed, her voice filled with pure glee. Her whole body felt alive. She twirled around in a circle, laughing.

Liam's voice, over the phone, was a low rumble. "Well, yes. And you spilled spaghetti sauce on yourself." Sophia erupted in laughter. The memory of the event and the sheer absurdity of his version, sent her into paroxysms of happiness. This was going to be a brilliant evening.
