Fidgeting with my hair is simply a side effect

Between my cute little dress and heels and the subtle but sexy makeup Lena applied to my eyes and lips and cheeks, I know I spruced up nicely

I feel good Confident, even

It’s just the whole Milo thing that’s screith my head

We’ve conize me at the floral shop

He’s helped me with my career

We’ve spent an insane aether

We’ve hooked up… in some form or way Texts, phone calls, you name it, and we’re connected

Truthfully, I’ my head around it all

What used to be a crush has blosso more

So

Pretty sure you’ve already fallen, girlfriend Right off the cliff and pluht to the rocky bottom o’ love

I sigh Out loud And Lena doesn’t miss a beat

“What’s going on, honey?”

“Nothing” I run the brush through my locks one last time

“You’re freaking out” She eyes ly in the loss “It’s written all over your face”

She’s right I a out

I turn and restthat’s fillingfor hi to get really flipping scared about how this is all going to play out” I blow a heavy breath out of o from here? What’s the next step in the plan?”

“There isn’t a next step,” she says with ease and slides the tube of lip gloss back into her sold clutch

What? No next step?

Anxiety fills up my chest like a balloon

“What do youYoda! How can there not be a next step?”
