"Oh, you didn't have to," said Sophie, admiring the gift. "But thank you anyways!"

"You're welcome," Taylor replied. "So, are you doing anything special?"

"Yeah, my man is gonna take me to La Bella Mia. I love him so much, you know? He makes me feel so good." After hearing that, Taylor tried to hold back her tears, even though it made her throat hurt. She once was in Sophie's shoes. But she remembered her promise.

"Have you guys talked about marriage lately?" She asked Sophie.

"Oh, yeah, numerous times," she replied. "You know what would be funny? If he proposed to me tonight. It would be one funny memory." Taylor forced a smile.

"Yeah, it would."

"So, how about you, Taylor? Do you have someone special?"

"Used to." Taylor sat on the edge of Sophie's desk. "I thought we were gonna last forever. But his selfishness got in the way." She sighed, and got up. "Well, back to work. I have so many papers to deal with."

"Okay. And Taylor, don't worry, you'll find love before you know it."

"Thanks, Sophie."

"You're welcome."

As Taylor entered into her office, her phone rang. It better not be Chad, she thought.

"Hello," she answered.

"Hey, Tay, it's me! Gabi!"

"Gabi? Girl, how are you?"

"No, how are you? I heard about your scandal. I can't believe it! You? In a love triangle? With Chad? Details, please!" Taylor laughed a little.

"Well, you know how I told you we met up at the Ritz, right? After that, he asked me to lunch, and it was like we were in high school all over again. And then, he gave me tickets to see his game. We went out for ice cream, and took a walk down to the harbor. It was then we kissed, because I said the moon looked beautiful, and he told me I was beautiful. And then, I'm at work, and some bitch comes and has some nerve to slap me. We fight for a while, until Chad comes, and explains that the girl was his fiancée. I was in pain when I heard that because the night before he told me he loved me. And so now, I made a promise not to love him anymore."

"Tay, I'm so sorry, I wish I was there to comfort you. But are you sure no more Chad?"

"Yes, Gabi. I've been hurt by him not once, but twice. I can't be in pain any longer." Gabi sighed.

"If that's the case, then, you're gonna find someone new, who really loves you, okay, Tay? Now I've gotta go because Leslee needs a diaper change." Taylor laughed.

"How is she anyways?"

"Oh, she's excellent! She's crawling all over the place! Troy likes to chase her around. It's so funny because she gets away so quickly. Well, I'll take to you later, okay? And feel better."

"I will, Gabi. Bye." Taylor hung up the phone and went back to work.

Before going home, Taylor made a stop at the grocery. She solemnly strolled down the isles, putting food into her cart. As she reached the frozen section, she rushed to the ice cream. When she was depressed, that was what she only ate. From cookie dough to expresso chip, it always made her feel better.

She went and paid for her purchases, and made her way to the car. All of a sudden, she tripped on a rock and regained her balance, but dropped her bags. She cried out in frustration, and went to pick them up.

"Do you need help?" a man asked, coming over to her.

"Yeah, that would be great," she mumbled. As soon as they were finished, she looked up to see a pair of honey-colored eyes stare at her brown ones.

"I'm Marcus," the man said.

"Taylor," she replied. "Thanks for your help."

"Oh, no problem. You looked upset, so it was the least I could do." Taylor smiled, drinking in his striking features. He was fit, with smooth caramel skin. His eyes glowed, from the sun. Damn, he looked good.

"I would like to get to know you more. How about a cup of coffee sometime?" Marcus asked.

"Oh, I would love to but..." Taylor started.

"Boyfriend?"

"No, no, it's...What the hell, why not?"

"Great. Here's my number." He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a card. Taylor took it with pleasure.

"Thanks," she said. "I'll see you around."

"Yup." Marcus strolled back to where his car was, as Taylor continued to stand in her spot. She couldn't wait for that cup of coffee.
