Grace jogged off the court, sweaty yet exhilarated after scoring the winning three-pointer of the game.
Simon walked up to her, offering a high five.
"You were amazing out there!"
She was exhausted, yet still somehow the most beautiful girl in the world to him.

"Grace, you are the most amazing girl I know, and I want this opportunity to ask you something. Will you be my date for the dance tomorrow?"
Grace laughed gently and replied, "Si, you don't have to sweet talk me into it. Of course I will...after you take a shower of course."
She playfully pushed him away and wrinkled her nose, laughing at his disbelieving yet happy expression.
