The text message: "Headed to Seattle for a few weeks!" From Ben, the one who shared my love for rainy days and a good book. Seattle. My Seattle. I felt a surge of pure, unadulterated joy.

I imagined walking around the city, pointing out the landmarks, feeling the same excitement. I felt compelled to share everything that made my city feel like home. Every cozy coffee shop, every book store.

I pulled out my favorite clothes. The clothes that made me feel more myself. I wanted to look my best, feel my best. I just wanted to be the best version of myself for him.
