I hang up the phone, feeling much better than before. I decide to soak in a hot bubble bath and allow my anxiety to soak away. Ryan was very upfront and honest about only wanting a friendship. I don’t know why I’m allowing my mind to get so worked up about this meeting. Everyone meets a new friend every day. I just need to remember this.

Brianne shows just as she said she would. Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I decide to wear a pale pink, long sleeve, cotton dress that comes up just above my knees, with a pair of pale pink kitten heels. My make-up is lightly done, and I finish it with a pale pink lipstick.

He wanted it casual, and I’m trying to keep it between casual and dressy.

“You look absolutely stunning,” Bri says to me as I finish putting in my earrings.

“Thank you. I’m so nervous,” I admit.

“Everything is going to be good, you are going to have an amazing night,” she tells me as she hugs me.

“You are right. I just need to not put pressure on myself.”

“No reason to put any pressure on yourself, nothing needs to happen if you don’t want it to. Just remember you get a free dinner out of this and a face to whom you’ve been speaking with, and from there, you can decide what to do.”

I nod my head. “Thank you for being my best friend and helping me tonight,” I tell her, hugging her back.

“Always,” she says with a smile as she pulls back. “Now, you better get going, you don’t want to be late,” she chuckles.

“You are right, I got to go. Wish me luck,” I squeal as we walk out of my bedroom.

Scott is waiting for Brianne in the living room and I give him a wave.

“If you need one of us, call us, Ellie, and we will be there,” Scott tells me.

“Only if I need you,” I call back, certain he is talking about him and his men. I walk out the door, knowing they will lock up for me.

I get to the resort with a few minutes to spare and make my way to the restaurant. It’s busy, but not overly busy, I’m looking around while I wait at the stand for the hostess to come back. The air feels charged, and as I look around to see what is causing me to feel this way, my eyes fall on a gorgeous man sitting at a table alone, looking straight at me.

I swear I feel my mouth drop open, I forget to breathe, my knees shake, and even though I know I should look away, I can’t. I feel a strange pull to this drool-worthy man, buckle my knees, drop dead gorgeous. I discreetly wipe the sides of my mouth to make sure there is no drool actually coming out of my mouth. The hostess comes back and blocks his view from me so I can get myself together.

“Can I help you?”

“Yes, I have a reservation for Ellie.
