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.

	"String," she said. "String would work better. Like Theseus in the maze of the Minotaur. The dogs will eat the breadcrumbs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're right. String it is. You're quickly becoming the smartest person I know, Sydney." Avery says. "What's your favorite myth?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I like the creation myths. They're about the only upbeat or sort of happy ones," she explained. They neared the front door and Syd unconsciously slowed her pace. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The creation myths are good." Avery agrees. "I should read a few more, though, just because I haven't read any years." Avery slows down as well, turning to look at Sydney. "So here we are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I have plenty of books you can borrow if you want." Syd smiled when he looked at her. She could feel the heat rising back into her cheeks. "Here we are." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll take you up on that as soon as I can." Avery says. "In the meantime, I plan on kissing you again unless you stop me, Sydney. Haven't had a night like this in years, and I don't really want it to end." he tells her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't want it to end either," she admitted before she kissed him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery returns the kiss, glad that they both feel the same way. He breaks the kiss for a moment, deciding it's now or never. "Then it doesn't have to." he says, kissing her again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Syd smiled against his mouth as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Good," she mumbled before kissing him again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	word_of_law 2010-07-26 04:43 am UTC (link)
	"Good. Which way do we go?" Avery asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sydney_ashcroft 2010-07-26 04:45 am UTC (link)
	"Down the hall to the right and second door on the left," Syd replied. Don't think about what you are doing. Thinking will lead to stopping. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Avery is past thinking at this point. He picks Sydney up and carries her down the hallway, letting the worries about what to tell Zoey or anyone else in the morning fall by the wayside. Tonight is about Sydney, a subject he's waited six years to explore again, in great detail. (Reply to this)(Parent)
