Dinner Date
Who: Lucy and Bryn
What: It's a date
Where: Susan's house garden
When: Friday 31st July, evening
Rating: SFW
Under normal circumstances, Lucy would have been completely confident to host a dinner for two. She was a good cook, and super organised so that things would always be ready right on time. All day at work she'd been quietly anticipating her evening - until she got home and went to set the table. She was used to her own house in Tufnell Park, where her efforts went to ensuring an evening free of interruptions - but Susan's grand dining room posed an entirely different problem - it was too formal. Though she'd been staying here for some months now, Lucy wasn't used to it. No matter what she did to the room, it felt too imposing.
Starting the cooking gave her some time to think and at the first sensible interval, she dashed outside to set up Susan's garden furniture. They might be a bit squashed, but it was infinitely preferable to feeling uncomfortably stiff all evening. Lucy didn't think Bryn would appreciate that any more than she would. Satisfied, she checked on the chicken, stirred it a bit and then went upstairs to change.
With all the extra work, she was only just back downstairs, dressed and ready, in time for Bryn to arrive.
