My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 1130

The next day, Laura was nervous. She felt just like a teenager again. She couldn't stop thinking about her first date with Adrian—because yes, there had been a first date.

That first date was when she truly got to know the Adrian she had fallen in love with. She had already seen him as the handsome guy, but the fact that he showed her his more human side back then—that had been simply wonderful.

Now, all she could do was get lost in the memory of that day and hope things would be like that again. Just like back then, when he drove her out to a quiet meadow far from the city, where he'd prepared everything for the date, with candy in the car and a whole list of things to talk about.

"My darling…" Emma said, noticing how lost Laura was in thought.

"Emma, I'm sorry… I just have a lot on my mind," Laura replied, a little flustered.

"How are you feeling?"

"Nervous… But don't tell anyone."

"Sweetheart, who would I tell?"

"So… it's okay for me to leave my baby girl with you?"

"Of course, sweetheart!"

"Tonight's yours—your evening, your night. Enjoy it. You've waited at least two years for this."

"Emma, how…" Laura started, but Emma cut her off.

"Sweetheart, you can see it in your eyes. And in his. If you two are giving this another shot, take it seriously. You're not kids anymore."

"Thank you, Emma! Thank you for everything you've done for me and my little girl!"

"There's nothing to thank me for, dearie. You two are like my grandchildren. Nothing makes me happier than seeing you grow and find your path."

After that short talk, Laura started getting ready. Emma watched her like a proud mother watching her daughter prepare for a big moment. It felt like Laura was getting ready for prom or something out of a movie.

"How do I look, Emma?" Laura asked once she was done.
