Today was unreal.
My second night out with the very good friend girl suddenly exploded into a date, the moment she grabbed my hand as we were walking to the pub. To put it bluntly, she is now more than friends girl.
From eight last night until midday today, it was if suddenly someone had shifted my life into first gear, and I was revving like crazy through what might have happened if I'd been more social at secondary school. I still can't quite believe it. Me! Ordinary old Tom! I mean something to someone! Of course, I have family, friends et al, but -
Everything now feels different. Walking through town, holding hands. Huddled on a sofa watching bad movies and laughing at them. Discussing Camus over pancakes. All this is made exponentially better by the feeling that, at any point, we can stroke each other's hair, we can hold hands, we can kiss.
I can't wait to see her next. I want to yell "THIS GIRL IS AWESOME!" in the street. I want this presumably short honeymoon period to go on forever.
That,
and Combat Mission 2 came out. This day couldn't have been more perfect.
