The summer raced along quicker than Ava had anticipated and she couldn’t believe that it had reached mid-July already. She and Matt had been spending more and more time together and their relationship had deepened. She knew where her heart stood … and it simply terrified her.

Over the last couple weeks since Kim had been released from the hospital they had spent many hours helping her to get back on her feet again. Ray was still in jail but would be released soon.

This morning Lucy came over and helped her rearrange the room to look more organized instead of looking like the room just threw up furniture.

Tonight Matt had planned an entire evening for her and kept her clueless as to what he had in store. He had not staged a surprise date in a while. She was taken off guard when he mentioned it yesterday while painting. Matt said to dress comfortable and to come with an appetite. He left a map with her and said to meet him at the place marked at seven o’clock. Ava dressed in a purple tank top, jean Capri’s and flip-flops.
