We’re standing in line at Niecy’s, a small coffee house on Main Street waiting for the drinks we just ordered. When we woke up this morning Luca decided that we should spend the day together and I didn’t put up much of a fight. We showered (separately), dressed, and then stopped here for a quick breakfast on the way to my house since I desperately need a change of clothes.

He stands behind me, arms wrapped around my waist as I lean back into him. I’m oddly aware of the people around me, but none of them paying attention to us. I can’t help but to keep glancing at the door, waiting for the moment that someone I know will walk through the door. I’m not looking forward to facing judgment from anyone, but that doesn’t stop me from being out in public with him. I look up when the front door opens again, and I freeze at what I see.

“Holy shit that’s Victor Garza,” I say, ogling the man walking in the shop with a beautiful little girl. First thing I notice is that he’s tall, with thick dark brown hair and milk chocolate colored eyes. He’s not necessarily my type, but God he’s definitely gorgeous.

“You know who he is?”

“Everyone knows who he is around here. He was the hottest Latin singer in the world. He moved to town a few years ago and married a local girl.”

“Elle, I know her. She’s a really nice girl,” he says, just as someone slams into my side. I look down and come face to face with the adorable little girl Victor just walked in with.

“Ava, be careful honey,” he says to her as he reaches us. He grabs her hand before bringing his eyes back up to us. “Sorry, she’s a bit of a tornado.”

Luca gives him a nod, “It’s no problem; she’s adorable.”

“Thanks, she takes after her mom.”

“Yeah, tell Elle Luca says hi, she used to work with my mom.”

He nods his head then bends down to pick Ava up. “I’ll make sure to tell her. Nice meeting you, have a good day.”

“You too,” Luca replies.

I was pretty much stunned silent throughout that whole exchange, never uttering a single word. Luca’s arms tighten around my waist, and I tip my head up to look at him. He’s smiling from ear to ear.

“What?” I question with a glare.

“You were star struck.”

“I was not,” I huff.

“You went mute on me.”

I roll my eyes and look away from him. “Shut up Luca.”

“Relax babe, I think it’s cute.”

“Whatever.”

We get our order and head out of the shop. I sip on my coffee as Luca drives and I begin to feel the all too familiar sense of dread I get every time I think of home.

Luca takes my hand in his and rests it on his thigh pulling my attention away from my thoughts and back to him. “What’s wrong?”

I smile up at him, a smile that doesn’t quite reach my eyes. “Nothing.”

“Something is bothering you. You looked a million miles away just now.
