She moved into the living room and flipped on the TV. Friends. How perfect. Just what Layla needed right now. A reason to stop thinking so hard for the moment. Her more than perfect date needed some time to settle in. How was it that meeting Brian had taken so long? He was too good to be true. But then, following that disaster with Seth, any guy would be a step up. After all, it did take her six months and weeks of therapy to get over it.
But Brian, oh Brian. Layla felt like a new person. Just then, Dyna jumped into her lap. Cradling the cat’s face in her hands she sighed, “He’s so dreamy, isn’t he?” Dyna purred as Layla stroked behind her ears. “So you agree,” she said with a smile, “Did you see those gorgeous eyes?...I bet they’ll never stop making me melt.”
As the word “melt” rolled off her tongue, KNOCK. Startled, both Layla and Dyna jumped of the couch. Layla’s heart skipped a beat. Brian?! She ran in the bathroom to ruffle her hair and swiftly made it to the door. She looked through the peephole. Shock. Heart-in-mouth. Seth. Sobbing. What the hell was he doing here? She hadn’t spoken to him in months, let alone seen him. And crying?! She had to think fast.
