Summary: Laura has Alex over for dinner.
Laura took the day off. She spent her time cleaning her apartment, grocery shopping, and worrying. Alex was coming over for dinner and she didn't know how she felt about it. She didn't even know which answer she preferred when she asked him over, but his yes made her happier than she thought she was going to be. And then immediately made her nervous. Laura thought about calling her parents, but she was too old to go to them with her problems. She even contemplated telling her brother, but he told her not to even talk to him, so she was sure he wasn't going to like hearing she wasn't just talking to him but spending time with him as well.
As the day went on, she began to feel a little excited about seeing him, about maybe pretending there wasn't a huge cloud hanging over them. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't that long ago when she gave up, told him that everything wasn't working out, and left. But it was long enough. And she missed him. More than she even knew.
Placing the last plate on the table, Laura took a moment to open the balcony door a crack and let the cool air in. Like every other time, it relaxed her. If it was a warmer evening or if they were having lunch, she would have insisted on the two of them eating out by the lake. Being outdoors made her feel as if she was wrapping herself up in a warm blanket. She always felt this way. The worrying and the nervousness were still there, but Laura walked away with the door with a smile, ready to start down this new path with Alex.
