Chapter 7

Dylan was on cloud nine the entire way home. He’d thoroughly enjoyed himself immensely over dinner. He was in awe at how lively Eva was when she was relaxed and away from work.

Her response about how she never kissed on the first date made his toes curl in anticipation and happiness. Everything that was said or done, every smile, each laugh, couldn’t have gone better if he’d orchestrated everything himself. It was like meeting someone that just understood you, someone who was on the same wavelength.

Flipping on the radio to his truck, Dylan found himself humming along happily to the music and tapping his hands on the steering wheel in time with it. He couldn’t think of any date that he’d ever been on in his past that made him feel just so brilliantly alive. He knew that the memory of this evening would be a shining moment in his mind forever.

Hopping out of the truck, he took the stairs to the apartment he shared with Ethan two at a time. Still humming, he unlocked the door and assumed that Ethan would be asleep, only to see him up and watching the news.

“Hey man, what are you up to?”

“Well you look awfully chipper! What are you up to?”

“I think I met the most awesome woman ever.”

“Daisy?” Ethan teased, his eyebrow lifting in a mock challenge.

“No, you can have her – she’s got eyes for nobody but you and I prefer my girls a little more outspoken, fun, and…” Dylan stopped, searching for a word to describe Eva. “…Incredible.”

“Nerd alert! The man’s got a huge crush – oh, let me tell the rest of the guys,” Ethan teased, picking up his phone and pretending to text. Dylan grabbed the phone and looked at the screen, flushing guiltily as he handed it back.

“So, who is this mysterious incredible woman?”

“It’s none of your business, and you don’t know her anyhow.”

“Is it the girl from the café,” Ethan said mysteriously and ducked as Luka threw a bolster at his head.

“John sure talks a lot.”

“Actually, he’s pretty happy for you and said she’s seems really nice. He also told me that she wasn’t afraid to put you in your place and that you’d made a total ‘noob’ of yourself the first time you met her. Is that true? Smooth-with-the-girls-Luka is a huge dork with this particular chick?”

“Oh yeah,” Dylan laughed, plopping down on the couch beside Ethan. “I’ve got it pretty bad with this one. Dinner was amazingly fun and her smile is breathtaking.”

“Did you test yet after dinner? You seem a little distracted by your new lady love, buddy.”

“Shoot! No,” Dylan admitted and hesitated. Normally someone bringing it up would irritate him, but Ethan had been nothing but understanding. They seemed to have an unspoken code among them. He didn’t treat Ethan as helpless with his prosthetic limb - Ethan didn’t pester him about his food intake and diabetes.

“Thanks for the reminder.”

Dylan bolted off the couch back to his room and quickly swiped his finger with an alcohol pad.
