It wasn't a date.
That was the only thing Allison could tell herself in order to not work herself into a panic.
The problem was, there had been dates. Two of them, nice ones with a great, really good looking guy. She liked Mike. A lot. For that matter, she liked Scott, too. But dating just wasn't in the cards right now. It couldn't be, not when things still felt so...wrong. Her life had changed drastically in one quick moment and she wasn't sure how to move on from that. Or, worse, if she ever even could.
But having a friend over for Chinese takeout she could handle. Maybe. It was more than she really felt ready for but this was Allison, not Vanya. She didn't do hiding herself away well. She'd already gone and gotten a new job (sort of, minimal hours but supplemental work was still work). She'd gone out for coffee a few times, even though she'd ordered from the app. And fortunately things like Uber Eats existed so she could still order delivery. Just...also through an app.
It was all really overwhelming and she wasn't sure she should be doing this yet but the knock came on the door before she had a chance to back out. She hadn't gone through too much trouble dressing up - leggings and a long comfortable sweater with a neckline that helped hide the bandages. Still, a quick peek in the mirror told her she looked okay and that would have to do.
For now, at least.
