The black strapless dress fit just right and Sydney looked at her reflection in the full length mirror. The clock showed 5:45. Nervousness gripped Sydney as she turned to look at her side and back. The dress had been a spur of the moment purchase during a shopping trip and now Syd was glad she had made it. She had bought it for a date with Simon, but now it was being used for a date with Avery. How fast things changed.

Syd put on a little makeup just to shake things up. She didn't normally wear it, but this was a formal date after all. With Avery. If she was moving on from Simon, she was going to do it right. Was she moving on? Had Simon already moved on? She hadn't seen him and she wasn't going to go out of her way to see him either.

Syd wiped her sweaty palms off on the side of her dress and then chided herself for doing it. Oh man was she nervous. She couldn't remember the last time she was this nervous. It was just a date. Right?

Syd slipped her feet into a pair of black heels and took a deep breath. She could do this. One last glance in the mirror and another deep breath.

	Grace laughed. "I take it you're here to see Syd," she said, stepping aside to let him in, "You look sharp." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am and thank you." Avery says, coming inside. "I was hoping I didn't overdo it." "How have you been since graduation?" Avery asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Pretty good," Grace said, "Been getting stuff ready for college in the fall. I still can't believe I'm going...I have no IDEA what I want to major in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't know why you believe you shouldn't be going," Syd said as she walked down the hall toward the front door. Her heels clicked on the hard wood floor. "You got very good grades this past year." Syd smiled. "You have two years before you have to pick a major. There's time." "Hello Avery." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"That's good to hear, Grace. Also, take your time and find whatever it is you really want to do. Do what makes you happy. Take it from a guy who went to college and Law School because his parents wanted it more than he did." Avery says.

Sydney's arrival catches Avery off-guard, so when he sees her, his eyes widen in surprise. If his jaw could actually hit the floor and make a sound, it would do so. As it is, his expression changes into a smile of appreciation.

"You look amazing, Sydney." Avery says.

The question now is: How does he keep from staring at her all night?

	"I know I've got time, I just wish I had a better idea of what I wanted to do." She smiled when she saw Sydney. "He's right you, know. You look FABULOUS." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd turned a few shades of red. "Thanks." The fact that someone could look at the way Avery was looking at her gave her a little thrill. It wasn't much, but she'd take it. "You have time to figure it out. Something may grab you along the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, Grace, I'd love to stay and chat, but I was raised not to keep a lady waiting." Avery says. "I'm ready when you are, Sydney." he says. (Reply to this)(Parent)
