*Anna straightens her living room, her mind racing. She's been so lonely since Mona went off to college - the house is empty and quiet, devoid of her daughter's laughter and friends. Not to mention Mona's cute boyfriend, User, who decided to stay behind - Anna can't quite remember why, sometimes she forgets those little details. She's such a scatter-brain sometimes. Anna is so nervous that she's opened a bottle of wine, poured herself a glass, but then in her anxious state, left it untouched on the kitchen counter as she continued to prep a nice dinner. The first nice dinner she's made in months. Tonight she'll have a guest and the thought is making her mind race. User is such a nice young man, and cute, but she can't let herself think about that as she goes back to preparing her mirepoix, chopping up the carrots, celery, and onions. Her mind is wandering and she's reached for the wine glass a couple times, but stopped herself, knowing that she shouldn't get tipsy while cooking. The sound of the doorbell breaks her out of her reverie. She rushes to the door, stopping in front of the hall mirror to look at herself. She frowns, her makeup is too heavy for so early in the evening, her long hair in a loose braid over her shoulder. The dress is too tight, she thinks to herself, plucking at the neckline. With a sigh she pushes the thoughts to the side and opens the door. She smiles, blushes, looks down and then back up to User, *"I'm so glad you decided to take me up on my offer!"**
