Meet Sienna White. A twenty five year old widowed mother to a four year old daughter. After a horrific accident involving her husband of almost a year left her raising a newborn alone, she hasn't even thought of dating again, mainly because no one...
To say the least, I was nervous. I hadn't been on a first date in years. I was in high school when Ashton asked me out and I know times have changed since then. As crazy as it sounded our first date was bizarre, Ashton had taken me to a party one of his friends had been throwing. I didn't expect a party for this first date with Ryan, he just didn't seem like the type to do that
Ryan had texted me early that morning saying that he'd pick me up around six. In the message, he said that he was flying back from the race and then doing a podcast for his show but nothing about what to expect out of the date other than to ask for my address.
I had asked Sophia to come over and babysit Eleanor for me and she happily, enthusiastically is the better word, said sure. So she had come over early, wanting to help me get ready. Mason had stayed home, wanting to catch the NFL game that was on. Sophia didn't mind to do babysitting by herself. She had plenty of experience with El so I had no worries. She loved her just like she was her real niece so it worked out perfectly.
"White, blue, or black?" I asked Sophia, pulling up three different colored shirts that were practically the same style. Off the shoulder and flowed nicely. I loved the white one but I wanted a second opinion.
"Hm, I would do the black, it looks the best with your tan." I grabbed the rest of the clothes I had already picked out, and a nice black cardigan that I thought would be okay with the cooler weather coming in, and headed to the bathroom. I pulled the undergarments on and then the skinny jeans that I adored. They were a dark wash and hugged perfectly. Sophia was right, the black did go well with my tan.
"Okay, I'm going to straighten my hair then by that time he should be here." I opened the door, letting Sophia and El come in.

I knew it was getting close to bath time for her, so I went ahead before Sophia got here and laid out some pajamas for her.
"El, sweetie, I want you to be a good girl for Aunty Sophia. Listen to her and don't be fussy." I had finally finished getting ready and was currently waiting for Ryan. I was hoping he wasn't having a difficult time finding the house. It was the only one around that had a soft gray color to it.
"Okay, Mommy. I love you." Eleanor answered. Coming over and holding her arms out. I picked her up and kissed her before hearing a knock on the door.
