Hearing the knock at the door, Pippa gently pushes the pup out of her lap and finds herself trying to calm a sudden rush of nerves.
It's only Ro
, she tells herself,
no need to panic
. And yet...it's him. Here. For dinner and conversation.
She sighs and smooths a hand over her blouse, her skirt. Conversation that may be a bit problematic. Will he judge her, consider her dishonest and not worth his time if she tells him that she's hid far more than her artistic pursuits? Knowing she can't not tell him if she wants to share more than that one kiss with him, she resigns herself to letting the ball drop into his court. If he wants to play, wonderful. If not...what can she do?
Pippa shakes herself, moves to the door and pulls it open, using a bare foot to keep an overly eager puppy from darting into the hall. "Ro, hi! Come in...please. Before little mister here makes his escape again."
She's smiling as she looks up at him, glad to see that he's kept his promise to bring his guitar with him. "If he's too obnoxious, I'll put him in my bedroom..."
