loud,
    “Aren’t you scared that John just wants a fling?  Do you want to have a fling?  You just don’t seem like the type Avalon.”  Of course Jaci vocalizes her opinion quickly as well.
    “What’s wrong with a fling?!  Hell, as far as I’m concerned every woman needs a fling every now and the n especially when their boyfriends are assholes.” 
    I think about it and think about it but I just don’t know. 
    “I really have no idea what I want to do.  It would not be a fling.  We’ve been talking too long for that.  Sometimes I think he knows me more than I know myself.  If I do meet him it will not be a fling.  Although, I am scared of what it will be if I do meet him.” 
    “Ava, I say go for it.  Fling or not go meet the guy.  See what happens. Live a little.”  Jaci always had the same answer for everything.  To be honest I really did want to meet him.  Before I knew it Jaci grabbed my phone. 
    “Here I’ll text him for you and tell him you want to meet.” 
    “JACI!”  I yank the phone back before she could text him all kinds of sex invites, then text him myself.  “Would love to meet. When and where?”
    I figured I was just drunk enough to do it so why not?  Within five seconds I got a response.  I held m y breath while I read it:
    “Ava. Are you sure?”   Finally I decide to meet him and he wants to second guess me?  What a man. 
     
    “Yes I am sure. Now tell me when and where before I change my mind.”
    “Right now. It is not too far from you. It is off Two Lights Road. I will text directions to you in a minute."    Jaci was reading the text and immediately grabs her keys. 
    “Alright, I’m not drunk whereas you and Lena are so I guess that means I’m driving.  Let’s roll ladies!” 
    Before I knew it we were all in the car and as soon as we received the directions from John, Jaci types them into her navigation, and we are on our way.  The closer we get to the little arrow on the screen the shorter my breath becomes. 
    The snow is falling harder and harder the closer we get to his h ouse.  Am I crazy for meeting him at his house?  Should we have chosen a more public place to meet?  What am I saying?  I know this man.  Looking out the window it looks like a typical winter day in Maine, snow two feet high all around but luckily the roads were okay.  Although with the way the snow was falling the roads wouldn’t be okay for long until they come through with the snow plows again.  All the trees look naked with icicles hanging off of them and the clouds in the sky look translucent almost ghost like.  The farther we drive the fewer houses we see.     My heart begins to beat out of my chest and I am so nervous I can feel my body shaking. 
    “Calm down Ava.  You act like it’s your first time.  You’ve been talking to this guy for over a year.  Just breathe.  It will be fine.  An d if it’s just a fling then fine, just fling and go home.  You deserve some excitement in your life.”  I know Jaci is right but I can’t help but feel nervous.  I haven’t been around another man in years.  Lena stays quiet.  I know she worries about me.
    “Avalon, keep your phone on and text me first thing tomorrow and let me know you’re okay.  If you need anything just call.”  I always appreciate Lena’s concern.  She’s like the mother I never knew. 
    We finally make our way down the winding road and drive slowly down the driveway to find a beautiful country cabin, nestled in the snow, surrounded by trees.  It is stone with three stories and two balconies from what I could see so far.  In the front a wraparound porch is all lit up so I would be sure to see where I was walking.   Jaci stops the car and just drops her hands. 
    “Damn.  The man has a gorgeous house Ava.  Go have fun and text us soon. But you know, not during anything.”  Lena just sighs and rolls her eyes. 
    “Be safe Avalon.”  I take a breath and step out of the
