The silence stretched on, and Sydney stared aimlessly in front of her, trying her hardest not to have a repeat performance of her water works at Ryan's place. If only she had called Andy a week ago, none of this would be a problem. She over analyzed his motives and that stupid business card. She kept putting off a call to him every time she saw her old boss in her lawyer's office. She kept thinking it was already too late to call him so why even bother.
If she had just trusted Andy enough to pick up the phone and actually talk to him, she wouldn't be in this position now. But she was here because she hadn't done any of that. She had been a coward, and now she had to pay for it.
Lucy put her hands on her knees and stood up. "Do you have wine in your fridge?"

She smiled. "That sounds good."
