Nerves a-flutter
Throat tightness approaching acid-reflux-panic-attack-too-much-coffee levels
A last glance in the mirror
A last, last glance in the mirror
A pat down of the shirt he’d picked and perfectly pressed two days before
An extra spray of the cologne she’d always loved
He finally deemed his appearance perfect for their first ‘let’s still be friends’ coffee
Knowing full well it wouldn’t matter in the slightest.
