If the World is Ending

 "Give me your best find. I'm almost late."

Fiona brought out a pink satin V-shaped top and white pants.

 "Xavier should be able to feel your presence just by looking over his shoulder," she said, feeling accomplished and smirking.

Diane smiled as she puts on the outfit. "I love both the color and the combination."

It was the first time she had ever agreed to wear an outfit picked by her sister. Fiona had truly won the trophy this time.

"I have to go now. Thank you for doing this for me," she said, pecking her sister on the cheek.

Diane put on black heels and matched them with a white purse.

 "Bye, Fiona. I'll see you when I get back," she said distantly as she left the house.

Diane entered her Toyota Range Rover Sport 2022 and drove to church with excitement, eager to see Xavier.

Xavier, a businessman and former mayor of the town, exuded an aura of mystery and power. Standing tall and proud, he possessed a commanding presence that demanded attention.

 His muscular frame hinted at years of honing his physical prowess, with just the right amount of abs and a sculpted physique.

Chiseled features defined his face, accentuated by a strong jawline and a well-groomed beard that added an air of ruggedness.

Deep-set, piercing eyes, the color of stormy gray, flickered with intelligence and determination, as if harboring secrets and untold wisdom.

His hair, as black as a panther, followed the direction of the cool wind blowing from the south. His voice resonated with authority, each word carrying weight and purpose.

His carefully chosen words revealed a sharp intellect and a wellspring of knowledge concealed beneath his enigmatic exterior.

 Diane anticipated Sundays more than any other day, hoping to sit beside him and make her presence felt.

Outside the church, the congregation mingled, exchanging warm greetings and thoughtful gifts.

Diane, her heart aflutter, reached into her cute white purse to retrieve her car keys.

Just as her fingers grazed the keys, a voice whispered in her ear from behind,

"Guess you weren't hard to find after all."

Diane jumped, startled by the sudden intrusion.

"Arghhh, you scared me!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with a mix of surprise and sass.

Xavier chuckled, his baritone laughter echoing through the air.

 "A proper approach won't hurt,"

he replied with a playful smile. "But I thought that was a proper approach."

Diane tried to steady her racing heart, her mind racing with a whirlwind of thoughts.

 "He's talking to me today? He noticed me today?" she silently urged herself to remain calm.

 "Please stay calm, don't panic. You can handle him talking to you."

 Noticing Diane's momentary stutter, Xavier's expression softened with concern.

 "Are you okay?" he asked, his eyes searching hers. Diane, her voice trembling slightly, managed to respond,

"Yes, I'm fine," her words betraying her hidden emotions.
