The dress was the problem.
Lara didn't know whether to go for traditional and tested black cocktail dress or something with a bit more...wow factor. She wanted to impress Levi, but not completely overwhelm him. He'd called a few times, left messages and she'd returned them with increasing flirtatiousness that he'd responded to well.
A few times she found herself imagining what life would have been like with him if he truly had been her boyfriend and found that she really liked the idea. He was...he felt like he fit with her.
Shaking off the daydream, she decided. Wow factor.
She pulled the dress on and straightened it, tidying her hair and examining her reflection.
"Not too bad, huh?" She asked Osha who was lazing around on the floor. The big dog gave her a doggy grin and rolled on her back. "You're useless." Lara said fondly just as the doorbell rang.
Grinning, she grabbed her heels and bag and padded down the stairs to open the door.
"Hi." She said as she opened the door and slipped into her shoes. "I'm ready, honest."
