Chapter 17

I ran back and forth throughout my apartment gathering all the pieces to my plan. I set up candles on the coffee table. I put my favorite playlist on at just the right volume level. I made sure the kitchen was spotless and that wine glasses were conveniently within reach. I checked on the state of my bedroom to ensure that nothing embarrassing could be stumbled upon. I even dumped my bathroom trash. I made sure that the couch cushions were fluffed. Then I changed into my sexiest pajamas.

Okay, they weren’t really that sexy. They had a low-cut top, but only because the top was too big on me since losing some weight. The pants were silky and felt nice against my skin. I spent a little time making sure my hair looked mussed, but appealing. Once I was sure that I looked as good as I could for a dessert date, I headed back into the living room to wait.

It was hard to be still. I kept glancing at my phone to check the time and to check for texts. It was getting late. What if he’d forgotten all about our plans? Could I have been wrong about what might be happening tonight? It was obvious to me that Max and Stephanie had had a secret meeting. It had to be about me and it had to be about proposing. This had to be the night.

I closed my eyes and drew a deep breath. I wanted more than anything to be able to control my anxiety and emotions.

I was just about to text Max, to see if he was still coming, when there was a knock on the door. My heart jumped into my throat. This was it. This was the moment that I’d been waiting for. It didn’t matter to me any more that there was no photographer to take a picture of the special moment; I just wanted it to happen.

I lunged toward the door and caught my foot on the leg of one of the barstools at the breakfast bar. I tried to catch myself and succeeded in knocking the perfectly placed wine glasses right off the counter.

The crash must have alarmed Max, because he knocked louder.

“Sammy, are you okay?”

I looked at the shattered glass all over the floor. I was not okay. I’d tried to make everything perfect, and now everything was a mess.

“Just a second, Max!”

I grabbed the broom and dustpan. I tried to hurry to clean up the mess but finding the clear glass on the white tile floor was very difficult.

“Sammy, the ice cream is melting.”

I sighed and walked over to the door. I was covered in sweat from trying to hurry to clean up the mess. My sexy pajamas stuck to my skin. I opened the door and looked at Max.

“Hi.” I frowned.

“Hi.” He smiled at me.

“Come in. Just be careful, there’s glass on the floor.”

“Okay.” He nodded and glanced at the mess in the kitchen. “What happened?” He set the white paper bag that held our ice creams down on the breakfast bar.
