csi100 The West Wing showtitles challenge. Cross-posted to cath_and_nick and csi100. terimaru is to blame for this one. She said something about how I'd never written the first dinner date of an idea she gave me. And who am I to refuse? ::grins very evilly::
~*~
She's forty years old; in her life she's been on hundreds of dates. There have been dozens of first dates, times in her life when she's changed her men as rapidly as her outfit.
Tonight she's changed her outfit six times and all for one man.
It's not even anywhere special - just a nice quiet restaurant, not too expensive, not too cheap. Dinner and conversation, like a thousand different couples in Vegas tonight.
It's the 'couple' bit that's freaking her out. The 'date' part. The part that says it's serious - gone from friends to more.
It's a change of state.
