    reached past her and handed the cashier the money. “Name?” “Todd,” he answered then turned, smiling at Lucy. “And your name is?” “Lucy.” “Hello, Lucy, it’s nice to meet you. Do you want to share a table while we wait? It looks like they are backed up and that poor boy in the back isn’t having much luck.” Lucy turned and watched as the young teenage boy dropped the iced coffee he had just finished making. She took the seat across from the still smiling Todd. “You didn’t have to do that.” “Thank you is the normal response, but you’re welcome.” Lucy blushed, realizing how rude she had just been. “I’m sorry. Thank you, Todd.” “It’s okay, we all have moments,” he said, flashing her a heart stopping grin. She returned his grin and then looked down, blushing. “How can I pay you back?

I promised him I would help hang his new TV.” “It’s okay, I didn’t realize the time, I should probably be heading home myself.” "Well, before you go ... Lucy, can we do this again sometime? I have enjoyed our short time together," he asked, with a hopeful expression. Lucy thought about for a moment and decided why not, she had just enjoyed herself. "Sure, I guess so," she said. They exchanged phone numbers and Lucy headed back home. Walking home she touched her face and smiled, her cheeks hurt from laughing so much. Then she suddenly realized she hadn’t thought of Michael once while sitting with Todd. One month and another Friday night later, Lucy was sitting on her couch in her pajamas watching one of the endless remodeling shows. She had gone on two dates with Todd since their first initial meeting and she had enjoyed herself with him. Todd was charming, funny, smart, and handsome.
