I was happy today. Not only had my dinner date with Ethan gone well, but I was going to go back to work tomorrow and the day after that will be my birthday.

Just like I had predicted on Saturday, Ethan had managed to help me forget. A few minutes after getting to his place, I was already laughing my ass off.

He cooked, and he didn’t disappoint. The food was absolutely delicious. There was just something about a man that can cook and make you laugh. It ended up being a happy and fun night. It got better when I came back home and I was able to talk to Noah.

I doubt Emma knew the difference between a home and a house. Mine was a home, it had a

warmth to it while what Emma liked was a huge expensive house that looks clinical and cold.

I sigh “Seriously? You came all the way to my house for this nonsense again?”
