Lila
Lila sat in her living room, checking social media on her phone and berating herself for being a coward. She'd been planning this day for a week. It wasn't high stakes, not really. All she had to do was convince Dane that he didn't need to keep himself apart from her, or the others because of her. That they could work together. And, just maybe, convince him that she wasn't the only one who cared about him.
No big deal.
She groaned and dropped her phone on the couch. Then she turned and let herself sink back into it. The couch hugged her, but she couldn't get comfortable. She'd taken the time to dry her hair and style it down. She wore a simple blouse and dark jeans with her heels today, because it was the weekend, even if she was going to work. Technically.
