Brand New Boo

There was a knock at the door not even half an hour after my meltdown. I was already sitting in my underwear, eating the Snickers bar I hid in the TV cabinet for emergency sadness, or my next period.

I expected it to be Luna and Harry at the door so I yelled, "It's open!" over the sounds of the reality TV show and my own sad crunching.

It was another minute before the door slowly opened and I caught the long, lanky reflection in the TV screen. I gasped before turning to see Miles closing the door.

"What are you doing here? Where's Harry?" I asked, standing up and hiding my Snickers wrapper under a blanket.

"Where's your clothes?" he asked, looking over my sad excuse for beige underwear. My clothing may have been on the sexy side, but I never bothered with getting anything more than the six packs of underwear from Wal-Mart. I figured they always ended up on the floor so there wasn't much of a point.

"He's at Luna's. She asked me to come check on you after that scene with your mom," Miles said, meeting my eyes instead of looking down at my underwear.

"You saw that?" I asked, wide-eyed.

He smirked. "I may have been coaching, but a cat fight can cause the game to stop. I'm just glad there was no blood this time like Luna's tirade."

I sighed and slumped down on the couch, putting my head in my hands. "Gawd, I'm going to forever be known as "that mom" aren't I?"

Miles gently sat down next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. "I don’t know what you mean by that."

"You know exactly what I mean. I'm never going to be the PTA mom who brings cookies to events or shows up on time wearing some fancy cardigan. I’m always going to be the hot mess, former teen mom, with a stripper for a grandma."

"And that's what I love about you," Miles said quietly while rubbing my shoulder.

"What?" I asked, snapping my head toward his. Not only did he just say that was a good quality, but this was the first time he used the’ L’ word.

Miles shook his head, a slow smile crossing his face. "This probably isn’t the best time to say it and it probably freaks you out, but yes Moira, I love you. I think I have since the moment you walked onto the soccer field in your heels and that little black dress. You exuded confidence I only wished I could have."

He scooted closer, his face just inches from mine. "Then I got to know you. The woman who has been through so much and still comes out so strong. The woman who will do anything for her friends and her kids. And even trust the geeky soccer coach who’s never played the game in his life, and only took the position on to help pay his student loans."

I laughed, wiping a fallen tear from my eye. "I don’t know whether to be happy or sad.
