There was a lot of pressure on Darcy to make this dinner near perfect. To be fair, it was all self-induced pressure though that didn't make it any less annoying to deal with. She had debated options for a family friendly meal and ultimately decided to go with a meat lover's lasagna recipe she found online. Between Steve's appetite and the two teenage boys, she made two of them, which meant she'd basically spent the entire day in the kitchen. The smell was incredible though and she knew it was totally worth it.
In addition to the lasagna, she prepared a simple salad and some garlic bread, plus she'd picked up a couple bottles of a nice pinot noir that google assured her would pair well with the meal. For dessert, there was apple pie with ice cream.
She realized that she was probably overthinking this whole thing. Steve, Micah, and Jason were all laid back, easy going guys and she had no reason to think that there would be any issues, but it was important to her that everyone got along if she and Steve were doing this dating thing.
When the doorbell rang, Stephanie screamed, "I get it, Momma!" and ran to the door. Since she had been well trained to only answer the door for people she knew, Darcy didn't worry about it, especially since the only people she was expecting were Micah and Steve.
