Mia is a massage therapist, and Damien is a physical therapist. Damien brings in a client for a massage, and Mia catches his eye. Despite Mia tuning him down repeatedly, Damien is determined to convince her to go on a date with him.
Mia has tried...
Mom and I were both sitting on the couch drinking coffee as I told her about last night. Well, I didn't tell her everything...
The doorbell rang, and I looked at the clock. It was only ten, so I know it was too early to be Liam with Izzy. I set my coffee down, and walked to the front door. I looked through the peephole, and saw a man with a bouquet of daisies. I opened the door, and thanked the man for bringing them.
I walked them into the kitchen and set them on the counter. I found the card, and opened it.

"Those are pretty." Mom said as she walked past me to the coffee pot to top off her cup.
"Yeah, they are." I said smiling down at the card.
I folded the card open and put it back in the plastic holder. That way when I look at the flowers, I can see the open note.
"I'm going to go get in the shower before Liam drops off Izzy." I told mom.
"Why is he bringing her back early?" Mom asked.
"He decided to pick up a shift at work." I said shrugging.
"Hmm." Mom said, holding back saying what she really thought.
"I can't make him have her." I said with a shrug.
"I know honey. You're an incredible mother." She said as she kissed my cheek on the way back to the couch.
I took a deep breath and went into my room. I pulled out comfortable clothes, and took a shower. I could still faintly smell his cologne on me, and I was sad to wash it off. I guess I just need to make sure I see him soon.
I let my hair air dry. I pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, and went back out to the living room.
"Mom, what should we do for dinner tonight?" I asked her from the kitchen as I opened the fridge.
"I was thinking I would make some of my homemade chicken nuggets." she said.
"Oh yum!" I said as I closed the fridge. I heard my phone ding from the counter behind me.
Liam: Can I bring Izzy now?
I rolled my eyes as I let out a huff of air.
Mia: Yeah.
My flowers caught my eye, and I realized I still hadn't thanked Damien for them yet.
Mia: Thank you for the flowers!
Damien: When can I see you again?
I pulled up my work schedule to see if I could escape early one day.
