He smiles as she walks into the restaurant and gives her a hug. She loves that he gives strong, warm hugs.
She takes a bite of her seared ahi and he leans over and takes a bite too. She doesn’t mind. He slides his bowl of gumbo towards her and offers her a bite…just like she knew he would.
He listens as she talks about her amazing new Kitchen-Aid mixer. She’s tickled pink that he gets why she’s so excited about it.
She sips her martini as he mentions fly-fishing in the spring. He laughs when she asks if she can get waders because he knows her love of shoes.
He describes seeing her a few years ago and the impression she made. She watches his eyes as he talks about seeing her as a “grown up”.
She laughs at the crazy guy sitting next to them. He points out the fact that the crazy guy is using an Altoids tin for a wallet.
He mentions “it” just once and she tries to hide any emotion. She's still amazed at her own ability to cover up how she really feels.
She wonders when life got so complicated and why things never seem to be simple anymore. He reaches over, touches her hand and for just a moment, she forgets the rest.

That was nice and just enough to make me jeolous. Complicated, simple, I think it's a mix of the two.
Excellent.
