Étiquette : thank you though!

1) She heard somebody at the door. Her heart rate increased. He had called her to tell her he would come. And now he’s here and she’s excited… but also very nervous. She knows he shouldn’t be at her house. With a half smile on his face, he said “Hi” and she let him in. He had told his girlfriend he was going to see his friend Tommy for the evening. For some reason he couldn’t tell her the truth. It was just easier to lie than to face a potentially bad reaction. David & Gillian hugged quickly,

2) afraid of triggering old feelings again. “You should have told her.” “I know. But it’s not like we’re doing anything wrong.” “Lying is not the best way to a girl’s heart.” Does she really want him to conquer his girlfriend’s heart? Does he? He had no comeback for that. Instead he stared at her pretty summer dress & her sun-kissed skin. “You look nice.” It was a simple compliment but it still managed to make her blush. “Thank u. You seem… well rested.” He’ll take that. The house was silent,
3) her kids weren’t home. It was just them. And it felt great, peaceful. She gave him leftovers and they spent the next 2 hrs chatting. There was banter, light touches. That’s just how they were together. “David, I think u should go.” “I can stay 30 more minutes or —“ “No. You HAVE to go.” He was confused. “We’re going to end up doing something we’ll regret, David. I know I will.” His finger traced her forearm and he took her hand. “Just go.” she whispered. He left. She stood there, overwhelmed.
