<em>~Mila, breakfast with her family~</em><br/><br/>Mila looked on as Marcus greeted the new guy.... no, she corrected herself.  His name was David, and to separate him from the group by thinking of him as a label rather than a person was wrong.  She glanced at him again, her gaze down, sneaking a look when he wasn't watching.  Her heart was thudding in her chest; she really wanted this to work out, but she was nervous.  When Bo introduced her, she looked up and nodded at him.<br/><br/>Marcus fixed a plate for himself and came to sit next to her at the table, also sitting in his spot from dinner the night before.  He squeezed her knee, and she lifted her eyes and smiled at him.  He was a kind person, and already her heart accepted him as special to her, a friend.<br/><br/>She stood and walked to the carafe, refilling her coffee mug and adding sweetener and cream.  "Hello," she said to David, her smile shy.  "It's a pleasure to meet you."  Picking up a plate, she picked up a slice of toast and added some eggs and then went back to her seat.
