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...
Isaac flew in yesterday, and we all went out to dinner last night. Damien is letting them stay at his place, and he is staying with me, like he does most of the time now. The boys were going out tonight for a drink, and Amy, Izzy, Mom and I are going to stay in and have a girls night.
"Well, don't you look handsome." I said to Damien as he walked out in the sweater I gave him for Christmas.
"My girlfriend has incredibly good taste." He said smiling.

"So gushy... ick.." Isaac said from the kitchen, earning a swat from Amy.
The guys left, a little while later, and we got ready for girls night.
"Izzy baby, come get the nail polish." I said from the bathroom.
I handed her the bin it was in and she carefully carried it out to Amy. I got the face mask stuff, and a few hair ties and followed her out.
"What color do you want?" Amy asked Izzy as they looked through all the bottles.
"Blue and puple." she said holding them up.
"Imagine that, Frozen colors." I said laughing.
I painted one foot, while Amy did the other. We alternated purple and blue on her little nails. I had a bottle of white polish, so I painted a little snowflake on her big toe.
"So pretty! Thank you!" She said when they were done.
"You're welcome baby." I said smiling at her.
Amy picked out a dark green for her toes, and I went with a soft pink. Mom as always did a dark red. While we let our toes dry we put on the face masks, and I put one on Izzy too.
"Mommy! It tickles!" she said as she crinkled up her nose.
"I'm done, just don't touch it, ok?" I said.
"Ok."
I poured three glasses of wine, and filled a sippy cup with juice, and we turned on the Hallmark channel to watch the sappy romance movies. At the end of the first movie, we took off the face masks, and ordered pizza for dinner. We watched two more movies while we ate, before we put Izzy to bed, and Amy drove back to Damien's house.
I showered and pulled on warm pajamas before sliding under the covers. Just after midnight, I heard Damien come in and quickly shower, before getting into bed behind me. He wrapped his arm around me, and pulled me close to him.
"I love you, Mia." I heard him whisper.
"I love you too." I said as I laced our fingers together.
...
It was the middle of January and Izzy woke up this morning not feeling well. I took her temperature, and she had a low fever. I have been watching it through the day and It really hasn't gone down, even with Tylenol.
