Since the restaurant was located upstairs, it had an excellent view of the street. But Lilly couldn’t take her eyes off of Wade. He sat across from her, unshaven, dirty, and with hat-hair, shoving his spaghetti bolognaise inside his mouth.

She knew she wouldn’t have felt safer nor did she want to be with any other person—man—at that moment. She had been asking herself over the past weeks, ‘Why?’ Why did I choose him over my parents? Lilly moved her vegetables around on her plate thinking about the first time she had met Wade. She and Grant had stopped by Starbucks on their way to a movie. Grant had stood in front of her in line and asked what she wanted.
