February in New England wasn't usually this forgiving. The night was a little windy, but definitely mild, given the time of day and time of year. Where there should've been below freezing temperatures once the sun went down, the breeze barely carried the touch of Spring chill.
Perfect for lovers, perhaps--but even more so for Nell and the man she couldn't imagine her life without, because it was his birthday, and God knew Kale needed a good, fun, stress-free night out. Dinner had been a fun romp of goofy conversations concerning a few of the more colorful customers to the shop recently and several parts of a cow and a pig, drowned in barbecue sauce and thick cut french fries, then a big-ass chocolate lava cake for dessert. Nell had fun entertaining the birthday boy by ad-libbing conversations of the Valentine's Day couples that surrounded them, to the point where she was about sick with laughter herself.
Now they were content to walk home, sheltered by winter coats kept open save for the breeze.
