“It’s not too much, is it? I was going to wear the grey dress you like, but I didn’t think it was appropriate for dinner with your family at LeBernardin.”
“Turn around.” He looked her up and down and was awestruck at the deep cowl on the back of the beautiful, black silk jersey dress. Then his eyes wandered down her long, curvy legs to the five inch black pumps she was wearing. He swallowed hard and exhaled. “You look beautiful.”
“Thank you.” She kissed him.
“What about me?” He stood up and brushed his tie.
“You look very handsome, especially, that beautiful gold paisley tie.” She kissed him again. “I need to take Winnie down to the neighbor…come with me.” She put Winnie on her leash and grabbed her keys. “Honey, please get Winnie’s bag, thank you.” They walked down the hall to the second door on the right and Kyla knocked on the door, taking Sean’s hand in hers.
“Good evening Mrs. Banks.”
“Good evening Kyla.”
“Hi Hannah,” Kyla smiled at the little girl.
“Hi Miss Kyla.” The little girl bent down and rubbed Winnie’s neck. “Hi Winnie.”
“Mrs. Banks,” she handed her the leash and the bag. “This is my boyfriend, Sean Prescott. I wanted to introduce him to you so you wouldn’t be alarmed when you see him in the hall or on the elevator. He has a key to my apartment and Jerome knows Sean has my permission to enter my apartment.”
“Nice to meet you, Mrs. Banks.” Sean said as he extended his hand to her.
“Nice to meet you, Sean. And this is my daughter, Hannah.”
He bent down and shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Hannah.”
“Hi.” She smiled as she shook his hand.
“Kyla tells me you and Winnie are good friends.” He rubbed Winnie’s neck. “You know, I picked Winnie out special for Kyla and my dog, Simon is her boyfriend. Maybe the next time I leave Simon with Kyla, your mom will let you play with him too?”
“Can I mommy?” she asked.
“We’ll see.”
“Honey, we’d better get going. Thank you Mrs. Banks, thank you Hannah. I’ll be home around ten. Is that too late to pick Winnie up?”
“Let her stay until the morning.”
“Thank you. Good night.”
“Good night, Mrs. Banks.” Kyla and Sean turned and walked back to her apartment.
“Miss Kyla,” Hannah called as she ran down the hall. Kyla stopped and waited for the little girl while Sean went back to her apartment.
“Is everything okay?” Hannah motioned for her to bend down and she whispered in her ear. “Thank you. See you tomorrow.”
“Bye.” The little girl turned and ran back to her mother.
Kyla walked back to her apartment, went inside, closed the door and wrapped her arms around Sean smiling.
“Is everything okay?” he asked.
“Hannah wanted me to know she thinks my boyfriend is cute.”

“Well, I do have a way with the ladies.” He kissed her. “Get your coat.”
Dinner went well and dessert was going fine. Kyla reached over and took a forkful of Sean’s dessert. Zoë looked at Jordan and he looked at her, smiling.
