Kady was going to back out. She was. She’d been thinking about it all day. From the moment Nick had walked out of that supply closet and her brain had kicked back on, she’d known that she was making a mistake. She had to cancel on him, nip this in the bud, and she had to do it before he managed to sway her back to his side and into his arms. It felt too good there, too right and comfortable and natural. She didn’t think straight when he was so close and she’d softened at the hospital when she should have stood her ground. She had to back out of the date.

Only, every single time that she’d picked up her phone to do just that over the last few hours, something had stopped her.

She was scared to put a name to what it was. Scared to admit that the part of her that wanted this was big enough to overpower her fear. That her heart actually ached for more time with Nick, for everything with Nick, everything that she’d though she lost so long ago. She wanted her happily ever after with the man she’d loved her whole life and even if she was scared of being hurt again, she knew that she had to take this chance with him. She had to or she’d always wonder. She’d end up an old, gray haired woman, living alone with her cats for company and telling them about how she once came so close to forever with the gorgeous boy from across town. She didn’t want to be that lady. She didn’t want to be bitter.

She put the phone back down for the hundredth time and then jumped a foot in the air when her doorbell sounded.

Her heart raced and her palms turned sweaty. It was too late to back out. He was here.

Kady gave herself one last glance in the mirror but even if she hadn’t liked the way she looked there was no time to change now. She’d tried to downgrade the importance of tonight. She’d tried not to think of it as a date, their first date, or their hundredth depending on how she looked at it. She’d insisted on dressing just as she would have if she was going out with friends. She hadn’t curled her hair. Instead she’d simply plated it into a single braid down her back. She hadn’t put on a dress. Instead she’d chosen her favorite pair of skinny jeans, pair it with a comfy cute camisole and thrown a breezy, lightweight shrug over it. Strappy flip flops completed her, I care but not too much look and so she grabbed her purse and headed down the hallway towards the door.

“Coming.” She called as she hit the foyer and pulled the door open, “Hey, I…”

The words dried up in her throat when she got a glimpse of Nick standing on the front porch. He hadn’t gotten her memo about this not being a special night.
