Danny could not figure out for the life of him why he asked Nyla to stay the night. But he did and so here they are sitting quietly in Danny's kitchen eating take-out. "You know, in order for your fortune to come true you have to eat your whole cookie, then read your fortune out loud?" Nyla said breaking the cookie in half and putting one half into her mouth. "To be honest, I don't really pay any attention to the fortune cookies, I just eat my rice and chicken and call it a night" Danny responds shoveling a spoon of rice into his mouth. Nyla rolls her eyes and eats the other half of the cookie. When she is done, she sits up straight and clears her throat. "You will meet someone who will change your life for better" She says lowly. Danny laughs and swallows his food. 

"I may have to start paying attention to those cookies now" Nyla rolls her eyes.

"As if your ego wasn't big enough" she says gently throwing the paper onto the table and sitting back.

"Here, I'll read mine" Danny says grabbing a cookie. He opens the package and breaks the cookie in half offering one half to Nyla. "Maybe it'll be extra lucky to share. Also, I have pre diabetes" he says popping one half into his mouth. Nyla laughs and eats her half.

 "Everyone has pre diabetes Daniel" she says.

"Your mom tell you that?" he laughs. A small smile makes its way to Nyla's face.

"Yeah, she was the one to give me all my physicals" she laughs.

"Isn't that illegal?"

"Not if you do them at home and she signs her maiden name on the form" Nyla shrugs. 

"Again, isn't that illegal?" Danny asked furrowing his brows.

"My mom practiced using her maiden name because she said my dad wasn't paying for her schooling, or bills" Nyla laughed.

"He never paid bills?" Danny said shocked.

"It all went into his research; my mom was pissed. Like you have a sick daughter and you can't even-" Nyla took a deep breath in. Danny looked at her sadly. 

"It doesn't even matter, my mom has the divorce papers sitting in his office back home because she doesn't know where he is, so when he comes home, they'll be waiting for him." Nyla said looking down at her empty plate.

"I'm sorry you had to go through that Nyla, your dad is an ass" Danny said making Nyla laugh.

"Yeah, well that is enough of that, read your cookie" she says looking in his direction excitedly.

"You are almost there; Lucky numbers are 8 16 42 35." Danny says.

"Where you going Daniel?" Nyla laughs.

"Hopefully to my brother's wedding" Danny jokes.

"Why wouldn't you go to your brother's wedding?" Nyla asked getting up and picking up the plates. Danny grabs the empty containers and puts them in the garbage. 

"I am not in the best standing with my family. I went away for a while, to Greece. And I cut everyone off, so they said if I could do that then they can do the same to me" he says.

"They cut you out of the family because you went on a vacation?"

"Something like that" Danny says taking the dishes from Nyla's hands and placing them in the dishwasher. Silence fell over the two. There was more to the story and Nyla knew, but it was not her place to push. "Well, I am beat. Can you show me to my room?" Nyla asked.

"It's right out back" Danny jokingly says pointing to the patio couch. Nyla squints at him.

 "Okay, okay come" Danny says putting his hands up. Nyla follows Danny down the hall. They enter a small room with a full-sized bed, white sheets, white pillow cases, and a light blue rug with matching accent pieces and a T.V on the wall. "Well, this is the guest room. I actually bought this place a while ago and was renting it out while I was away, the person who stayed here left some furniture they didn't want so I made it to a guest room." Danny explains.

"There are towels in the closet, the bathroom you already know where it is. My room is on the second floor, so if you need anything, get it yourself" he smiles. Nyla smacked his arm and made her way to the bed. She flopped down onto it and took a deep breath in and out. "Okay Daniel, you may exit" she sighs. Danny laughed and made his way out of the door and to his room. A king bed with white sheets, white pillow cases, hardwood floors, a black and white rug, white walls, a black desk, and a T.V mounted on the wall. He heads straight for the connecting bathroom to take a quick shower. After a long day he was exhausted and afraid to face his family tomorrow. He didn't understand how they could forgive him after what he had done but he was grateful nonetheless. After his shower Danny grabbed a pair of boxers, only because he didn't want Nyla barging into his room in the middle of the night and getting scarred for the rest of her life. He put his phone on the charger, turned off the lights, and plopped into bed. Not even 5 minutes pass by before he hears a small knock on the door. "Nyla, I will put you out on the patio couch" he calls out eyes still shut. She opens the door. 

"Daniel, there's a spider in the shower, I can't shower if it's watching me" she whines. Danny groans and sits up in the bed.

"I am not walking downstairs to kill a spider" he says.

"You have to, it's your house" Nyla says crossing her arms and glaring at Danny. He closes his eyes and exhales through his nose.

"Just take a shower in my bathroom, spider free. There is no way I'm going down there to kill a silly spider" he says laying back down. 

"Fine" Nyla says making her way to his bathroom. Before closing the door, her head pokes out and she says "You're scared of spiders too?"

"Goodnight Nyla!" Danny says throwing a pillow at the bathroom door as Nyla bursts out laughing while closing it.
